As the annual Greenbelt festival rolls around (It's a bit like a massive, diverse Blackstump), it's always a chance to dig up what's happening across Europe in new and emerging church communities. I don't know if Dream is new or not, but I certainly didn't run into them in Oct-Nov 2003 when I was over there.
From their website - "Dream is a network of groups forming a community that values creativity, openness, freedom and flexibility. We welcome all who want to journey with us as we worship and explore a spirituality centred on Jesus and his involvement in our lives."
As seems to often be the case with the UK emerging church groups, there is an incredible grappling with the context around them - the art, music and social issues; and a desire to push worship towards new and creative ideas. However the politics and theology seems to remain somewhat unaffected at times (by comparison say to the Australian or US scenes). At the same time, the Make Poverty History campaign seems to have a much bigger profile in the UK. I often wonder why that is?
Anyway, check out the Dream site and what they're doing. It gives me hope.
