Intentional Living Oxford

In Oxford we visted Jonny Baker who is also quite a well known voice in the missional church in Britton. Unfortunately I was dead tired and didn't take in much. The veening we visted a "misson house" where eight people live together. There are two couples both with little children and the rest are singles. Every evening they eat together. They divede household chres and try to be a witness by living together in a pieceful and helpful way. Living like this also decreses everyone that live there ecological footprint. They have house rules they have decided on together wich functions more like codes than rules. They welcome any vistors in the conviction that God Himself meets us in strangers.

What these guys do, I believe will become a growing trend among Christians. Come to think of it, that is how things worked in the early church. Christians lived together and shared in such a way that other people came to notice. Independence in our society has become something we put to high a value on. All could benefit by living together in a spirit of christian love. For those of you who want to know more about this I highly recommend reading Shane Clairborne's books.I'm inspired, How about you?
