Drawn to Rome, Part 2: The Search for the Source (#487)

RSS Feed A Christianity of new beginnings gets old. The megachurch was the recovery of real church, and before that the Jesus Movement, and before that some other return to the original, each one arriving as the source and aging into a period style. For a lot of people the pull toward Rome starts there: not in a proof about Peter, but in a wish to go upstream and find the water still moving. In the early 2000s that wish was unfashionable. Not arriving had become a spirituality, with books and sermons hung on an old U2 title, as if God sends people on a search he never means them to finish. Jesus says the opposite. Seek, and you will find. Once the thing you want is the source, most of the map goes quiet, and the only houses that can even scratch the itch are the ones that claim to be the thing still running from the apostles. This hour is about that draw — the weariness, the upstream instinct, and the moment the claim has an address.
