Trop difficile de traduire le tout, désolé:
J'ai suggéré que peut-être nous sommes censés faire le contraire: Ne rien « faire ». Au lieu de cela, notre tâche principale serait d'être « avec » les gens qui nous entourent. Assez longtemps - des années peut-être - pour les écouter et devenir leurs amis, partenaires dans la vie, afin de pouvoir offrir ce que nous sommes et ce que nous sommes devenus en Christ en échange de leur amitié, de leur soutien et de ce qu'ils sont.

thought-provoking stuff found via iMonk:
Christians are doers. We think churches are supposed to be “doing” places. Pastors and church staff are the chief doers but everyone else knows they are supposed to be doers too. We expect churches to have an active approach to mission, to have programs that will enable people of all ages and different life settings to be involved. We worship together, have classes and studies, take care of young children and have activities for older children and teens, put on special concerts, plays, and programs, do service projects in our communities and take mission trips to other places, have fellowship dinners and events, and put together leadership and ministry teams to oversee it all. Of course, it all has to be staffed with volunteer workers.
Before you know it, you have a church full of doers.
