To Kyle's question about denominational divide, I think that I've seen more of those walls come down in the online world. But that is only as long as we don't start talking about some of the potential theological potholes that can separate us. I love it though when we focus on the things that we have in common and do great stuff together! As far a collaborative works, I've been also checking out http://www.theopedia.com as a similar resource for matters of the faith. Pretty cool... Interesting conversation…

Crazy fast. Interesting draw from Wikipedia to the church community. I always find it interesting when people are like, "What the difference between Methodists (or w/e denomination) and what I believe?" We don't know each other well. On a side note... Curious, it "Thoughts:..." going to be a regular theme? Because kudos on the subtle branding. Wow, 5 minutes? Crazy fast. Interesting draw from Wikipedia to the church community.

I have noticed that what one person sees as non-salvation another person sees as a salvation issue; thus we have another argument that is senseless to one and crucial to another. There are basically two ways Christians think: unity or primitivism. The first sees the most important thing is too stick together and maintain strong relationships. However, this will cause a little compromise of theology. The other group considers doing it the way of the first century church the most important thing. However, this will cause a few relationships to break down. What is most important to you...doing it "right?" or doing it together?

Do you think some of it has to do that we are pretty divided in a sense of denominations etc...? Maybe start sharing resources? Great question.

Maybe start sharing resources?

I will say that I am a little confused by your comments though, could you explain a little more?

Especially when it comes to hot button issues. In my experience, Christians do a crap job at community- real community. We let theology trump relationship. I'm not discouraging this movement. It's needed more now than ever. Who really freakin cares about non-salvation issues!? Sorry- I'm just tired of people debating each other instead of being Christ in a desperate and dying world. Cut the fat. Be REAL. I could care less about your paperwork and meetings. This is going to be interesting. Especially when it comes to hot button issues.

Shared experience is crucial! We first look to the Word and the Spirit for guidance, which is great; however, we cannot overlook the Body of Christ as a viable option for learning more about God and Christianity.
