KEY TAKEAWAYS

5:00 A Theology of Space

“Instead of building buildings, we wanted to use schools for our worship services. Instead of being one centralized church, we wanted to be multiple communities that we call parishes, that have spiritual responsibility for neighborhoods.”

20:41 “[Churches] are holding on to this old idea that the best thing that can happen here is a service on Sunday when their neighborhood desperately needs affordable housing or community space.”

28:20 “The Church – the capital C Church – is changing dramatically right now…. And we’re living in a day right now where I don’t believe we’re effectively stewarding the resources we have in a Kingdom-minded way.”

The concept of third space is you have your church, sacred place, you have your home, or other places that you inhabit, and the third space concept is something that’s faith-like based, but not a church community.” (Scott Austin)
