What might tomorrow’s faith community look like? (COMMENTARY)

Tom Ehrich

(RNS) Enough about churches that are dying. Let’s imagine something that lives, breathes, serves, makes a difference.

Would we even call it “church”? The term seems tattered and torn after two millennia of use. Maybe the term “faith community” would convey fewer historical negatives.

Whatever. Let’s not get hung up on names. Let’s imagine what it would actually be and do.
