Okay, so this is strange… a blog I frequently visit is Deeper… a pastor in Ohio who has a very interesting web site for budding theological minds such as mine. (Very budding, might only be a root – my mind that is, not his.) Tonight I visited Deeper and to my surprise Brian had also posted a survey from QuizFarm.com… a survey that had me think to myself on the weekend, "I have to return to complete this one!" The survey is entitled, "What is your model of the Church?" Admittedly we have to take these surveys with a grain of salt (about the size of a golfball) but nonetheless they are fun to try. Charles’ answer:
Also interesting is that the next three categories rank hery high, but Institutional falls way off. I would say, this is pretty consistent with the model of The Church I hold in my mind’s eye.
What’s yours?
Brian wrote a very interesting article about the TV show "Will & Grace." This show also happens to be one of Tess’ and my favourites. The article is entitled "Will & Grace: the story behind the TV show." In a nutshell, "David Kohan (one of the writers) loved the idea of the tension between man’s will and God’s grace, so he decided to transfer these cosmic forces to real characters on the series; hence, Will & Grace." The insightfull article is worth a read as are many of the postings and links on Brian’s blog, Deeper.

You scored as Mystical Communion Model.
Your model of the church is Mystical Communion, which includes both People of God and Body of Christ. The church is essentially people in union with Christ and the Father through the Holy Spirit. Both lay people and clergy are drawn together in a family of faith. This model can exalt the church beyond what is appropriate, but can be supplemented with other models.
Mystical Communion Model 72%
Herald Model 67%
Sacrament model 50%
Servant Model 50%
Institutional Model 6%
Strange how the instituitionl model is so low. Not exactly sure what Herald model is, I guess that’s where you go and and spread the Word of God to others (a “herald” of God’s words and deeds). I know I have gone through a huge change in my faith since my son died. My whole outlook on Jesus and God changed (for the positive)
I scored as a “Herald.” Makes sense. My belief, as echoed in my work, is that it is all about the people.

I LOVE Will & Grace as well, it has to be one of the most brilliant series ever created! Aren’t they brill, aren’t they brill? That article is indeed very interesting, thanks!
