Reimagining Church – Ruvan Weerasinghe

The futurist Alvin Toffler has said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn”. The Covid pandemic has exposed the fragile nature of life and laid bare many of the assumptions under which we unconsciously operate. While this has affected all of our life activities, nowhere has it been more stark as in our church life. Much of reform in history has happened when people were angry about the way things were. Such anger however, often results in bitterness and eventually avoiding the situation. Are there healthier ways to leverage such anger? Are there alternate models of church in the world?
