The last word for my wrap up of the Forge intensive can go to Urban Seed's Marcus Curnow who delivered the closing blessing at our worship service Sunday night. It's not often that the benediction is the highlight of a worship service (and I don't mean those times the service has entered its third uncomfortable, boring hour and the benediction is more of a decree of liberation than a 'decree of liberation' - if you know what I mean.) Here are his closing words but click on the link for the full text:
You are the body of Christ!
Christ has no body here on earth but yours!
Christ has no hands but yours.
Christ has no feet but yours.
Christ has no butt but yours!So get it up off your seat.
Dwelt it, tabernacle it, pitch it, move it into the neighbourhood, hit the street with it.And may God the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer of all bodies go with you.
Amen
