Jesus has left the building
Had an email this week from Paul Vieira, author of an ‘about-to-be-published’ book, “God Has Left The Building”. Paul was a successful youth pastor who ended up disillusioned and outside the established church. In his book he chronicles some of his journey, engaging with Scriptures again and revisioning what it means to be the church. He’s laying it on the table at his web site/blog, Jesus Has Left the Building, including a chapter summary, the prologue and chapter one.
Now Paul is the director of Harvest Stone and of a discipleship school called the Joppa Experience, located near his home in Canada. He has also made the entire course, which is focused on knowing God and finding Christ throughout all of scripture, available online at www.joppaonline.com.
Anyone know Paul? What do you think of what he’s got to say? Check out the book at Amazon.com (August 2006)

Maybe we could rephrase it as remembering ‘we are the building’. Not this thing down the road with pews and a pulpit.
