Thanks for these really thorough and thoughtful articles. Your last paragraph is the best. In my local context that is all we are working on right now… how we can learn to start with Jesus as the head in every situation, learn to hear him and then follow with what he stirs up. Strategy and ideas come last and sometimes never at all. Jesus comes first. That’s what we’re trying for anyway! :-)

This is a very interesting thread about the dimensions of the Church and you have explained it perfectly well.
