We are a small house-based community (not house "bound" but we meet in a home) and as I've mentioned before here, a part of our holisitc vision for building this thing is the inclusion of children. They have been pushed aside by the church for far too long and it's time to break down those walls no matter how uncomfortable it is for us "grown ups." Apparently, and not surprisingly, we're not the only ones with this concern. Just yesterday, a new blog was created as a public discussion of this matter. It's called What Do We Do With The Kids!?. Please check it out. right now in participation on the new blog are people who are doing church in a new way from California, Kentucky, Florida, Missouri, and New Zealand - more to be added soon. This is a very important part of this revolution we're all going through and worth spending some time on.
