Eugene Peterson | Programs and Community

One of my favorite lines from yesterday’s Q live-stream broadcast with Peterson. Seemed relevant given our recent conversation about the role of programs in the church.

“We all have to be much more thoughtful and careful about how programs are used in the church. Community is essentially a relationship… when we use programs as a primary way to run a church, that almost eliminates the relationship.”

- Eugene Peterson, Practicing Sabbath
