GospelGuild

GospelGuild The GospelGuild will be a network of young professionals, their mentors, and student preparing to graduate into every domain of our City.

The GospelGuild will be a network, a gospel seed growing movement in the city, slowly infecting it with God's grace, the Spirit's power and Jesus' kind of leadership. A Medieval Guild for the Twenty First Century City? Medieval Guilds did two things: they apprenticed artisans, mentoring them into mastery; they took the gospel out of the churches and into the streets, from latin to vernacular, with

their wagon mounted portrayals of the biblical story - the Medieval Mystery Plays. A Mustard Seed Order, for the technocratic metropolis? Zinzendorf was the stepfather of the Moravians - seed planters of the Great Awakening, through the conversion of Whitfield and the Wesleys. As a boy he formed the Order of the Mustard Seed, which grew to be a mighty tree, and a tree for the mighty, enrolling those who would be significant influential leaders in the later extension of the gospel: like the King of Denmark whose progeny would provide safe harbour and support to William Carey and his evangelization of India against the wishes of the British Empire. The GospelGuild

The Gospel Guild: a cadre of leaders in the city's professions and ministries and churches, dedicated to apprenticing future gospel leaders for the city. It will have three layers and multiple slices. The middle and most critical layer is what the Medieval Guilds called the Journeymen - trained up artisans who moved as work lead them around the workshops of the towns. In our context they are young professionals, graduates of universities and professional schools, plying their trade, trying to work out how the gospel applies in their work, and personal life. We might call them The Journeyers. They still need master craftsmen to learn from. These are the second, 'top' layer: seasoned professionals who have by the wisdom of others and their own experience lived the gospel in their vocation, able to teach and encourage Journeyers. Last, but not least, rather most importantly, is the third 'bottom' layer: students preparing themselves to graduate into professions.

When Christianity says that God loves man,... not that He has some 'disinterested' concern for our welfare, but that, in awful and surprising truth, we are the objects of His love... not a senile benevolence that drowsily wishes you to be happy in your own way, not the cold philanthropy of a conscientious magistrate, nor the care of a host who feels responsible for the comfort of his guests, but the consuming fire Himself, the Love that made the worlds...
