I've posted a lot about true (direct)democracy on Twitter as Exknostic in the past two years
That is what I see voice or outreach tomean.
It seems that many of us of lost theart of sharing our thoughts in the secular venue.
Can't help noticing that my localchurches excel at outreach.
Seems the only place that having Christin our heart is meaningful yet, there is a secular venue, also.
Imagine what our country could be ifChrist was in everyone's heart?
Why not reawaken that art using email,congregational helpers and pastoral literature.
Just as powerful as recording Sundayservice for the congregation.
Allow the community to speak to thecommunity.
Encourage congregation members toregularly email, sharing their thoughts with the community.
Such a volume of email could overwhelma pastor but then, pastors don't record Sunday service.
There would have to be an understandingthat what an emailer shares with the church would be reviewed byother members of the community before it reaches the pastor.
I suspect, for many, it would besharing the ups and downs of their lives.
A powerful bond for the community.
I find that texting the many members ofmy family, regularly, strengthens our bonds.
One person's idea is only a beginning,a flower blossoms with many petals.
By pastoral literature, I mean thepolished work that a sermon becomes taps the contributions of thecommunity that was summarized by congregation helpers.
So, not only record the experience ofSunday worship but connect the church community more closely.
What is the discernment of the pastor:what is proper protocol?
There are online ways to connect acommunity beyond email.
