More on "Liquid Church"

I just finished reading the book “Liquid Church.” Here are some quotes from the book that encouraged me.
“Liquid church is an attempt to reach out beyond what it means to be “in church” and toward what it means to be caught up in the liquid life of Christ.”
“As we say that we are joined to Christ and therefore joined to each other, and as we express this corporate life of Christ we are church. Relationships, groups, and communication are fundamental, for through the connections made between people the church is formed. Worship, prayer, and mission flow from these dynamic connections.”
“Instead of being a place where everyone can have a ministry, liquid church emerges out of the active ministry of everyone who is joined to Christ. As people join to Christ and communicate Christ with one another, the networked pattern that grows from this faithful communication of believers is then identified as church.”
“Our society is constructed around flows: flows of capital, flows of information, flows of technology, flows of organizational interaction, flows of images, sounds, and symbols. Liquid church would work to express itself as a series of movements and flows. As with a liquid, there would be a spreading, oozing, spilling character to these flows.”
“When we start to regard the network itself as church, then the notion of insiders and outsiders starts to break down. Instead we have a network of communication and relationship where Christian love and mutual support form part of the flow. The boundaries have started to become fuzzy and less well defined. This kind of fuzzy aspect of networks is an advantage. It means that around the church there may grow significant connections to those who have little to do with Christian faith.”
“Our consumer culture is based on a search for meaning. At its heart this search is spiritual, and as such, it represents a search for something beyond ourselves. Liquid church involves a radical change in attitude for the church. Instead of opposing materialism and treating consumer choice as evil, we need to begin to embrace the sensibilities of consumption. This means that we must develop a church life that connects with what people want, and one vital ingredient will make this change possible. The church must change its emphasis from meeting people’s spiritual needs to stimulating their desires.”
“Liquid Church must accept that a fluid and networked communion with God is fuzzy and hard to define. When you get close, the work of God in creation and salvation is jumbled together.”
