Spending the week with church professionals means a plethora of conversation about problems to be solved. I think we've defined ourselves as a giant corporate problem. That leads to defining each other as problem. Our churches have problems. Our church must solve our problems. (Same is true for business and industry, government, non-profit...BTW)
I read Sunday that the Renaissance began with the discovery of a new land...the desire to explore what was beyond what we knew. It did not begin with a discussion of how to solve the myriad problems of the Middle Ages.
Perhaps Lent could be the redefinition the world as a crucible of new possibility and elimination of our problem-solving perspective.
