Re: Frustrated by the Church


hey i checked out that site. and its pretty cool, but there are questionable things in the mission statement. "disorganized religion" is a dangerous thing that can mislead the inexperienced christian. dont get me wrong though i like the site and it has some intresting discussions.

Re. "organized religion": in some ways the concept of "organized religion" is like the concept of "organized crime"!

Actually the question to ask is less how organized is it, than how closely does the local church reflect the teachings of the New Testament and the church pattern of the NT Epistles?

Re: Frustrated by the Church


I've often described myself as an adherent of "Disorganized Religion." By this I mean to emphasize that it's all about Jesus, and not about religion.

(I find it pretty inspirational to know that there are others who realize the desperate need for humour and satire within the context of our faith)

"Ship of Fools exists to promote Christian unrest through humour, journalism, entertainment, discussion and community.
What do we mean by Christian unrest? – the people behind this site come from a wide range of Christian traditions. We broadly describe ourselves as "mere Christians", following the orthodox Christian faith described by C.S. Lewis.

What do we mean by Christian unrest? – we're trying to make sense of the faith which we love but which we also question. Christian unrest means looking at our faith critically. That critical look is both positive and negative – the positive affirming what is true and good in Christian belief and experience; the negative attacking false religion which masquerades as the gospel."
