what is church?

What makes a church?  Is it a building?  No.  Is it people?  Kind of.

The sol cafe in Edmonton, Canada, have a manifesto that is worth a look.  They start with this:

This is an attempt to capture a bit of what the sol café is all about. It will not capture everything. It won’t even come close. This is not a statement of faith. This is not a statement of vision. It’s just a statement.

I like that lots.  I like that they are open enough to know that they are not done becoming yet.  I like that their manifesto is growing.  I like that their manifesto is a community effort.  I like that the talk over coffee!

I want to be part of a church like that. Anyone know any around here?
