Inviting the World to Dinner: A Modern-Day Picture of the Church
Image by John Martinez
I was listening to NPR on the way home from work the other day and caught this great story. It’s about Jim Haynes, a man who for the past 30 years has hosted a dinner every Sunday night in his home - a dinner open to anyone who may want to come.
I couldn’t help listening to him talk about his experience and motivation for the dinner and hearing a modern-day picture of what the church can and should be.
Listen to his own words below, or head to the NPR website for a full transcript.

What Are Thin Places?
"Thin Places" are rich in Celtic tradition. They are the places in our lives where the divine and the natural worlds come so close together that we can catch a glimpse of God. For the Celtics these places were very real - places within creation where we could physically go. The Thin Places in our own lives are those moments where the space between us & the Kingdom is thin, when we are introduced to a greater glimpse of Who He is through our experiences and through the stories of others.
