Doorways and Pathways
Missional Initiatives that Transform Communities

Because a great door for effective work has opened to me (us) ...
I Corinthians 16:8
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
-- J.R.R.Tolkien
What will church look like when we gather as the People of God? What, in essence, are we about at such times and in places of gathering? What should we start - or stop doing? What is essential to continue and what - not so much.
As we re-affirm God's purpose in calling us out and gathering us together, will we note once more what it is He had in mind when He sought and found us? If, as Stuart Murray puts it 'What is essential today is the recalling of the church to its primary task,' do we know how to get at such recollection and to what might spring from it?
Who are we, in and for these days? In our various contexts and in all the varieties of culture around us, how shall we now live - and serve?
