Week 1 - Wed

I learned today that evangelism is not all about inviting people to church. Furthermore, I liked how Dr. Bolger described UK Christians waiting to be asked about their faith. Shouldn't we be living in such a way that causes interest in Christianity? This makes sense to me because we live in a culture where 99% of the people have already heard that Jesus died for their sins. We don't seem to have a lack of doctrine being pushed around. What seems to be lacking is relationships between Christians and non Christians. On another note, today's discussion about the demise of institutional churches in Europe and the US made me wonder if we may be seeing the demise of the professional minister too (Brian McLaren made this point too). If so, how will I make my living? Something tells me that's probably not the right question.
