I've noticed recently that there are two parties in our community (don't worry it's nothing "essential") - those who like the word church and who apply it to everything (i.e. I do church in a cafe with my mate, on a boat, in a moat (reminds me of Father of the Bride!)) and those who feel that the term is no longer useful to us, that it's so full of misconceptions that we'd be better to drop it altogether.

There are two ways of looking at it:
1. Firstly to use anything other than church can cause confusion, for example trying to explain to someone that you're part of a 'missional community' might get a bit tiring.
2. On the other hand there is the argument that when you speak of "church" they have images of the lifeless, the boring...

Should we redefine the term, or use something different?
