A Church with no barriers

Could the images below depict the opportunities for Churches without walls!

I’m not just talking about physical walls, but mental one too.

Where people can be as they wish, standing on the larva rocks, on the pavement, at a distance for them to observe for themselves. Sit inside, or outside (in the shade or the sun!) Look at a real person, watch a screen, or just listen (you can even close your eyes – if you need to) depending on your personal tendencies. whether you prefer early morning, midday or evening. The CHOICE IS YOURS.

How accessible is the western Church to the average person who has never put foot inside a Church before? I would be interested in thoughts from those who have not been inside a Church before.

Below is Living Stones Church where we have been visiting since arriving in Hawaii. Where we as visitors have been warmly welcomed. l have observed they are not limited by the size of their physical building. Is this what it looks like to expand our tents, dig the pegs deeper, and enable more people to encounter God’s presence, love and word, exactly where they are at. It’s good to start where it’s comfortable at least! (even though there’s no guarantee it will always be this way).

Also attached, is a photo of O’Hana court, where we gather on campus. A versatile building. Think how much we would save on energy bills in England!
