Thanks to Wiggy and Julie for your recent comments. I do - increasingly - believe that was is desperately needed in our churches is a new sense of community. We need a body of Christ who actually like each other and want to spend time together, and I agree that the community life of the other faiths around us puts us to shame!
I loved Wiggy's idea of upending the church and tipping us all out into the community (where we should be), so that we can find new ways of coming together rather than trying to discover new ways of doing mission.
There was a report in the Guardian last Saturday about why people go to the gym. And a study has suggested they do it because they find community there. When even the local gym is offering a better sense of community than the church, we really have got it very wrong indeed.
