einfach... nur... COOL!!
anders als die meisten gemeinden sagt sojourn von sich selbst NICHT, dass sie irgendwie besser sind oder so, sondern eher das gegenteil: dass sie MENSCHEN sind.. und das macht sie sooooo nahbar! und so toll :)
wer ihr -altes- "who we are" statement lesen möchte, kann dies tun, indem er den text hier ausklappt:
SOJOURN community - "who we are"
Sojourn colors outside of lines and conforms to nothing but God’s will.
we are a family on an authentic, radical journey with, and to, God.
we are poets and musicians, carpenters and accountants.
we are students and we are social workers.
we are shop owners, IT specialists, and retail clerks.
we are actors, graphic designers, and home-makers.
most of all, we are brothers and sisters, passionate about prayer, driven to know God,
and thrilled to tell others what He’s done, and doing, with and for us.
one other thing:
sometimes we suck.
occasionally, we really, really suck.
we sit down on the path and get complacent, or we wander off the path entirely.
we don't care for each other, much less those outside of our family.
we don't feed the hungry or clothe the poor.
we talk too much and listen too little.
we hoard our resources and our love.
we even hoard the hope we've found in Christ.
we commit, or permit, all kinds of evil in His name, and this is blasphemy.
forgive us. we're on the journey, but we are not there yet. we pray that the recognition of our own fallenness always leads to repentance and an acceptance of the grace that God showers upon us, which spurs us into doing His work, and letting His Will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
we are on a journey. along the path we play, we sing, we learn, we love, we challenge each other, we laugh together, and we pray God leads us to others who will share the journey with us.
für alle, die javascript nicht so cool finden: ihr könnt auf
die ALTE website von sojourn gehen und euch den text unter "who we are" reinziehen - eeecht "echt" :))
