What might tomorrow’s faith community look like? (COMMENTARY)

Tom Ehrich

(RNS) Enough about churches that are dying. Let’s imagine something that lives, breathes, serves, makes a difference.

Would we even call it “church”? The term seems tattered and torn after two millennia of use. Maybe the term “faith community” would convey fewer historical negatives.

Whatever. Let’s not get hung up on names. Let’s imagine what it would actually be and do.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
