So one of the requisites of being in Student Leadership at Tyndale (Student Council President – no big deal) is a weekly hourly session that involves talking about important aspects of being in Christian leadership: spiritual discipline, mentoring, community, and discipleship. We’ve been talking about community for the last month and it is starting to really bother me. The reason is because Canada sucks.
Canada sucks because we live in a culture mired in individualism.
Canada sucks because we are trained from an insanely young age to ignore and hide our neediness.
Canada sucks because our Christianity generally finds itself stuck to ideals and not people.
Canada sucks because our leaders are put on pedestals far above where any mortal should be.
I think I’ve found where the majority of my church problem reaches its breaking point.
