Big Questions

Can someone who doesn't feel Christian (never mind any loyalty to a particular denomination) lead a church? Can someone who is tired of religion and the standard explainations of God, life, the universe and everything?

What if 2,000 years of Christian Traditions have simply led us way off track - what if all we assume about how Christianity should look is very, very wrong?

What is church anyway - a gathering place for believers, or for the lost, for those seeking a Way (even if they're not sure what exactly that is)?

And if it's the latter - what will church look like? How does it escape the set expectations of those already at a decidedly Christian (and denominational) destination, and encourage those far from any destination at all?

Is reaching a destination important?

Should it even be called church?
