Viola will be one of the featured speakers—along with William Paul Young (author of The Shack), Wolfgang Simson, and others—at the House2Harvest National House Church conference, August 29-31 in Dallas, Texas.

Hi

I am looking forward to the new book.One thing that disturbed me about Pagan Christianity was the appeared point that all these current institutions should be abolished and replaced by home churches. I agree that the deveopment and practices come from flawed backgrounds, but to dump them now seems counter productive.All forms can still be used by God

I’ve read and rereading Pagan Christianity. Great book. But I don’t hear Frank Viola saying to abolish “all” church buildings, etc. it is the system of thought and practise these denominations hold that need change or to be done away with altogether because there is no basis for em in the Biblical account and history. I agree that all forms can be used by God but only to a certain extent. There is a wisdom I believe in approaching folks with this kind of message. but not all are interested for they have “arrived.” Or just plain unteachable. its all about getting closer to the heart of our Father!

Hi

Valid points. As far as use goes, I was thinking of Brian McLarens’ comment about -how all roads do not lead to God, but God uses all roads>
