IDENTITY

'...it comes back to identity. We build our lives around how we see ourselves. If you see yourself first and foremost as a businessman or housewife or professional then you will build you life around this with your church as part of an orbiting fringe of activities. But if you see yourself first and foremost as a member of God's missional people then you will build your life around this identity. Jobs, houses, incomes are made to fit around your core identiaty.'
Tim Chester and Steve Timmis, Everyday Church, p.169.
