ekklesia.

A quote by Pete Rollins in his book How (Not) to Speak of God with parentheticals added by Terry Shoemaker:

"For too long the Church has been seen as an oasis in the desert - offering water to those who are thirsty. In contrast, the (Ekklesia) community appears more as a desert in the oasis of life, offering silence (on doctrinal issues), space (to create and freely think) and desolation (crumbled cornerstone of Jesus) amidst the sickly nourishment of Western capitalism. It is in this desert, as we wander together as nomads, that God is to be found. For it is here that we are nourished by our hunger."

Yep. Pretty much sums us up.

Love you all so much.
