Comments were received after my first book on the subject of structured religion … and to the church at Auckland write. (Download it here...)
“It didn’t go far enough” said one former attendee.
“What about Legalism, and tithing?” said another
“Are they a Cult?” asked yet another
Writings and notes made over the years have led to this little booklet. the 'out of the religious system' experience and into a network of fellow believers as my eyes have progressively been ‘opened’.
This book is in 2 parts - my experience of gaining ’in-sight’
I once was blind ….. but now I see …..
as John Newton wrote so many years ago

EYES WIDE OPEN
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
was blind, but now I see
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
‘tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home
John Newton

WHERE TO FROM HERE?
OPEN HOMES OF GRACE
From time to time people ask us – where are you at now, regarding ‘Church’ and meeting with other believers / brethren ?
Well, we try to echo how it was in the ‘early Church’ times, and regularly meet with other like minded people, currently every second Sunday, at each others homes – in rotation.
We meet, chat, then group share whatever each one has to contribute, sing, pray, share a pot-luck meal, and communion. The host ‘kicks it off’, and it goes from there, and before we know it, 4 – 6 hours have passed !
No offerings, No buildings, No agendas, No ‘performers’,
No professionals or staff to pay. No boards. No ‘overhead costs’
Fluid, adaptable, individual, satisfying, organic - and it works !
These are notes on our discovery’s made along ‘the way’
