One of the best things about Glasgow Presbytery last night (and it wasn't a bad night thanks also to Martin Johnstone and John Matthews) was Hans Kouwenberg, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

He said that there was no other way for the Church to be, other than a local Church. Even the clerks and convenors (those from the "head shed") had to go to a local Church on a Sunday.

The text for the evening was Acts 2:42-47 which Kouwenberg commented had shaped almost all of his minstery. He noted an image from Leonard Sweet, who calls this MRI Church. The X-Ray gets deep, the CAT scan gets a bit deeper, but it is the MRI scan which reveals the fullest picture - likewise MRI Church.

MRI Church for Sweet is

M- Missional

R - Relational

I- Incarnational
