What does the church of tomorrow look like

Construction2

Visited Petra  last weekend and together we attended a seminar around theme of tomorrows church. I didn't have an opportunity to stay for the whole weekend so my perspective might be limited. One slogan that the speaker shared seemed to be quite useful: The church should seek to have low control and high accountability ( where there has normally been high control and low accountability in church).
The seminar was actually a very traditional teaching on five-fold ministry. What was interesting was that when the question of how the five-fold ministry can function practically in existing church structures, everyone bursted into laughter but no real answer was given. This is Finland...of course I tryed to input some propaganda, and shared about foundations of the church that are actully enabling and often quite invisible, calling forth what is needed in certain hour...Looking forward to the time when we can actually get beyond attempts of trying to do organised church better and start to share on radically Jesus-following lifestyle and how to live in a way which touches the world around us. Will it take much longer still? Was really good to reconnect with some friends in Turku and to meet some new ones, grateful for that.
