The Ekklesia, the called out people of the One true and Living God is both a journey inward into one's own interior life and a journey outward that takes the follower of Jesus into active service and mission in response to human suffering.
The Gospel is so much greater in scope than we have been led to believe. God as Three in One balances the One and the Many. All societies are based on the One and the Many, but because of the profoud 4 fold alienation from the Fall as shown in Genesis 3v7-24 human society has been able to truly balance the One (Freedom for the Individual) and the Many (Justice for the Community)
Because Redemption is a wide in scope as Creation and the Fall because the whole creation groans, true Christian Mission is nothing less than the healing and reconciliation of this profound 4 fold alienation. Jesus trained and released 12 men (and women) but Traditional Institutional Church is deeply oriented toward 'Get them in and keep them in' (the church)
This means that the Traditional Institutional Church is oriented completely opposite to the way that Jesus invested in people.
Some possible characteristics of Healing Community in order to put on display a new way of being human because of the Trinity> Committment; Discipleship; Journey Inward and Outward; Small Groups; Telling our Story; Acceptance; Worship; Alternative Leadership; Surviving Conflict; Trust and Time.
