church that smacks of institutionalism and authority. That includes talk about membership, discipline, offices, leadership structures, and so forth. Don’t make me sign anything, please. Just let me show up, enjoy the show, sing, laugh, develop relationships organically, and head to lunch with whomever I want. Once or twice a year you can ask me to volunteer in a soup kitchen. I’ll accept an annual dose of guilt. But please avoid words like commit, covenant, and correct. Those are legalistic and authoritarian.
