Yesterday was tough (read The Un Truman post)... I have found that when I am tired I am grumpy... mix a little sad in, and you have a very sad, tired, and grumpy cv...
So, I've been thinking about what a collaborative congregation looks like...
Last Christmas we took my parents, Vernon and Lynne, to see a Chuck Close exhibit at the portland art museum... The exhibit was a fantastic representation of how an artist (Mr. Close) would invite other artists (collaborators) to make huge prints together...
Chuck close is a paraplegic and an artist... his work is amazing... his limitations are actually what makes his work unique... his collaboration art invites others to participate in the process...
I'm certain that we can learn what being a collaborative congregation could be by experiencing art in similar ways...
Could it be that our congregation is art?

a living and breathing piece of art. evolving and active.
could it be that our congregation are the artists? collaborating and working together on a unique piece.
could it be that our congregation is a small part of a larger group of artists? a group that has been collaborating for generations and generations. evolving and active, learning and growing, all together on one beautiful piece of art.
