Church Values

What are people looking for in a church? This interesting post was posted by new doctoral student at Fuller Seminary, C. Wess Daniels. Wess is a Quaker (Friend), which should please my friend Bob Ramsey, to no end. Wess has some core values, and secondary values.
Core Values
  1. Jesus-Oriented Practices and Theology

  2. Surrounding Community Involvement

  3. Equality of Humanity

  4. Peace church

  5. Tradition Relationship

  6. Move of the Spirit

Secondary Values
  1. Position to American Politics

  2. Creativity Oh Yes The Ancient Arts

  3. Small church

  4. Non-hieracrchical Leadership

  5. Sacramental Life

Sounds sort of eclectic, doesn't it? Some of this is typical of Quakers, some of it is typical of Presbyterians.

Thanks for linking to the post. I hadn't considered the how some of these corresponded with Presbyterian values...this is really cool.
