Trading Churches

In speaking to my dad yesterday about various move-related issues, I asked about churches in the area where I hope to work. He obligingly told me there's the traditional one, and a whole pile of others, in various degrees of contemporary, right up to what he called an "extreme contemporary" (wild) one.

Trouble is, I don't know what I'd want. Yeah, I like contemporary. Too traditional and I could leave with a frustration headache. But I don't want wild for wildness' sake. I don't want a lot of noise just so it's the opposite of traditional. Although I'd like to still be able to use the talent God's given me in worship music, I want something more than jumping around and blowing the eardrums.

I may still have a very long search ahead of me for a group that feels as I do, that we'd rather get along with Being church than find a group that's Doing it loud and proud.

So if you have any knowledge of hide-away, emerging, community, authentic, Christian, underground people - oh, you know what I'm talking about, and that it's not easily label-able! :) - in the Cooranbong / Sydney area, kindly let me know, or I may have to start one. And that sounds like a lot of hard work...
