Quiz Day
Andrew at Bloggedy Blog led me to this one. It has you discover your preferred church style (using the styles as developed by Avery Dulles.) Here's mine:
![]() | You scored as Servant Model. Your model of the church is Servant. The mission of the church is to serve others, to challenge unjust structures, and to live the preferential option for the poor. This model could be complemented by other models that focus more on the unique person of Jesus Christ.
What is your model of the church? [Dulles] created with QuizFarm.com |
No surprises here. I am glad (?) that the mystical communion model was almost as high as the servant. I am firmly convinced that they are essential to each other. A Servant Church without the Mystical side is not all that different from our local social service work. A Mystical Church without the Servant side is too introspective. At least that's my opinion.
The low- very low- score on the Institutional Church is a little bit of a surprise. But that's for another time when I get it sorted out a little bit more. I do know that the institutional model is very hierarchical and clergy-centric in its definition which is probably the underlying reason for its low score.
