We’ve mistaken the purpose of church. It’s not a box turned upside down, sealing us off from the world—it’s a container with an open top, meant to hold us while keeping us open to God, grace, and one another.
I like the Roots (especially Kara, who I have met), but thought it might be nice to have brought Carmen Imes’ new book, Becoming Gods Family: Why Church Still Matters, into the conversation.

I just got that book in the mail, so I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Sounds like it will be a worthwhile read?
