I am old skool
because I sit in church on a Sunday morning
I am old skool
because I am immersed in the culture
I am old skool
because I'm not "dechurched" or "unchurched"
I am old skool
because I like to sing "And Can it be"
I am old skool
because I'm doing the "trad" LPT training
I am old skool
because I believe the church belongs to God, but also all those within it
I am old skool
because I like pews and structure
I am old skool
because I've moved on from a desire
to be part of a "post-evo", "emerging" collective
And settled happily into "the mainstream"
Yet I am new skool
because I live on the net; blogging, social networking and generally surfing
I am new skool
because I network with peeps within and beyond
I am new skool
because I live inclusivity
I am new skool
because I look and live "out there"
I am new skool
because I have chosen to cut the crap
I am new skool
because I recognise that the church will die
if we don't do something
and so am ready to step out of the box
I am beyond your collectives and emerging vision
I am not cool
I simply believe in worship and mission
I'll work with you and network with you
Whether you're young or old
New skool or old skool
I am one of the many
Faceless, nameless mixing it up
Trying to live the God way
Inspite of, despite of and because of
the church
