We need a new name.

[katallasso]

Those of us who do not attend with a group of people in an organization for growth and worship need a new name.

We are not the "unchurched" as we are not the "un-called out ones". We of any are definately called out.

What could be our new name....maybe Moriah could come up with a new catchy name.

Errr, how about "the Lost Tribe/s" Just a thought

We have already been through this but we could come up with some different ideas .

My idea is "the unaffiliated" . Of course , "nondenominational" is a perfect fit . It fits us better than those who traditionally use the term .

 

[katallasso]

I'd like to find that thread. Unaffiliated is good.

 

[Just4Jesus]

How about "GRACE LIKE RAIN"

Hello and God Bless You. I hope you can get a new name for your group.
Have a wonderful evening.

I like the term 'unchurched' because for most of Chrsitians, church is a building, and yes I am proud to be unchurched.

 

[GK]

You're right. It's not a perfect label. We're still the church, even if our ways of being the church don't look the same as the majority. On the other hand, the label works.

 

[TheAJKMan]

Unaffiliated, I like that. Mmmm, think I should make a point of remembering that for future reference.

[FellowshipOfTheMystery]

I agree. 'Unafilliated' is much better than 'unchurched'.

When we started this forum a couple years ago, there was a lot of discussion about the name. There were several suggestions by home church/unchurched people, but they were overruled by people who attended church. I know, it seems strange that people who go to traditional church should have a say in the name of the forum for home churchers, but they way outnumbered us at that time.

I can't for the life of me remember what any of those names were, but "The Called Out" might be a good one.

"Unaffliated" does more accurately discribe the group, or "Undenominational." "Unnamed" would work for those who home church or church exclusively in small groups. Both are still forms of church, they just don't have an affliation or a denominational name.

Although I hardly post here, I would vote for Unaffliated/Unnamed.

 

[LittleBlueCat]

"Called out" might be accurate for the home churched, but not necessarily for the unchurched. I'm unchurched. Not because I've been called out, but because I'm fed up with what is on offer.

Admittedly, I don't post much, but I can't be the only one who isn't called out around here.

"Free Indeed"

or

"Set Free"

John 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Also there is a real freedom in Christ when you are not weighed down by the bureaucracy, politics and man-made rules, dogma and doctrine which consumes most churches.

Being free to focus on God and His word is very liberating.

I do miss the support and fellowship of a church family though.

But I could only go to so many "5 songs and a sermon" services.

 

[BenAdam]

I like Unaffiliated, or Uninstitionalized...

 

[ZiSunka]

Uninstitionalized

That could be a little misconscrued, maybe. We're already considered a little crazy for not going to church, but uninstitionalized implies that we should be instutionalized.

The greek word translated "church" in the scriptures is "ekklesia" which means "called out" ones.

So we could be the Called Out.

 

[Rick Otto]

it's not what you say, it's HOW you say it that concerns me.

I like "The 1st One True & Only Real Church", or more briefly, "The Holy Only", but now I'm just TRYing to provoke the denominators.

Didn't know that. Thanks!!
