Jill and I start an open house meal time at our place tomorrow night. We’ve got some of The Local: Swan View coming along, plus some friends who are not Christian. It’s simply the easiest way to get our non-Christian friends to meet our Christian friends. I think that at times we are too eager to talk about doing mission and devising ways to get things started, and all the while we allow ordinary life to pass us by without ever trying to fill it with gospel intentionality.
It’s pretty basic: Come between five and seven-thirty, throw some food on the table (I’ll cook a big curry, heaps of rice and naans) and leave when you have to. If you have a kid who needs a bath and into pyjamas do that too. We’re trying to make life a little easier for the average suburbanite. Nothing really radical about it, but that’s The Crowded House way.
