Who or what is the church?
All too often we begin with a set of assumptions about who or what the church is... unless we articulate a clear basic understanding of who the church is and what the church does, we build in a ticking bomb with the potential to bring division when our assumptions diverge. When it comes to being the church we can only engage in mission and ministry and grow to maturity when we're co-operating in unity in Christ... if we don't get that right at a fundamental level, then we create the opportunity for a whole raft of other issues - like vision, team, finances etc - that have been raised here to bring us down. Often we're disagreeing at a topical level, but the issue is not the topical one... it is simply a symptom, it is the fruit of a root lack of unity at a more fundamental level about who the church is and therefore what we expect the church will do.
Spend time on the front end defining who you are and who you aim to become as a church and embed that in the values and vision directing what you do... it'll save a lot of heartache and angst along the way!
