I’ve been thinking more on this and I have been quite amazed at how so many people feel a little uncomfortable with it or maybe even threatened.

The idea came up again in a discussion about young people and after thinking a little about what they would want from church someone stated that actually unless they came on a Sunday and met with everyone else then that was not real church in that person’s opinion. Made me smile and think of Jonny’s blog yesterday called ‘the communists are coming'(in particular his last paragraph).

I have been feeling frustrated in this area for quite some time. I do not mean in just the youth church or worship scene. I am being far more selfish than that and thinking of my own pilgrimage. People just do not seem to want to think outside the box. I am not moaning about that, if people are comfortable and happy and journeying their way then that is cool. It is frustrating, though, when others try to get you to admit they are right and that their way is right.

I am starting to think that maybe most ‘established/mature/stable/whatever Christians do not want to push the boundaries and investigate in case they find God to be a fairytale and come crashing down around their ears. What a scary position to be in!

I feel like I am repeating myself, but I do want to ask, where are the thinkers? I’m feeling quite alone here in Kent and wonder if there are many others around that would like to explore together in some way. Don’t ask me to elaborate on that – cos I have no idea!
