I think it comes down to community - if you are truely a community then you show your real self - community comes through hardship or common mission or purpose - until the church goes through hard times or gets behind a strong vision we will always struggle with just turning up with our masks on. Bless ya - loved reading your blog. Tim http://tjbarrett.wordpress.com/ I think that is true for America and Australia (where I live).

We seem to aspire more to be a tidy and respectable church, God forbid if we were a collection of mad, bad and worryingly clumsy group of Christ-followers. I think this is the source of much of the hurt that people have within the church, and can ultimatley end their time wanting to be part of church.
