If I lived in Springfield…如果我住在斯普林菲尔德…

If you go to the Simpson’s Movie如果你到辛普森的电影 website网站 , you can create your own Simpson’s characters.  Here’s what my wife and I would look like if we were on the Simpson’s. ，您可以创建自己的辛普森的字符。这里的什么我和我的夫人看起来就像如果我们对辛普森的。

I don’t know what I would do if I were forced to live in Springfield.  They’ve only got one church–and it happens to be a mix of the worst parts of the Mainline and Evangelical traditions.  I’d probably have to plant a church there–probably in the “bad part of town.” Or perhaps I could talk Moe into letting me start a pub church in his tavern (though that probably wouldn’t work, since Moe’s isn’t very trendy and he only has one type of beer on tap).我不知道我想如果我被迫生活在斯普林菲尔德，他们已经只得一教会和它刚巧是混合了最坏的部分，主线和基督教的传统，我希望可能要植物一所教堂有-可能是在“坏的部分城市” ，或者也许我可以谈教育部到让我开始一个酒吧教会在他的旅舍（虽然这可能是行不通的，因为教育部的不是很时髦的和他只有一个类型的啤酒就TAP ）的。

I’d start a coffee-shop church, I suppose, but I’ve never noticed a cool coffee shop in Springfield either.  Perhaps I’d have to plant a church in Shelbyville.  I think they might be ready for something “Emergent.”  Of course, property values are probably low enough for me to buy a couple houses to start a neo-monastic community.  Maybe we could start an after-school program.  After all, a troubled youth like Nelson would probably be transformed if he were to experience authentic, sustained, love from a community of hospitality.我要开始一个咖啡店教会，我假设，但我从来没有注意到酷咖啡馆在斯普林菲尔德。或许我不得不厂一所教堂谢尔比维尔，我认为他们可能会准备一些“急诊。 “当然，物业价值可能是够低，我买一对夫妇的房屋，开始新寺院的社会。也许我们可以开始一个放学后的计划，毕竟，一个困扰青年一样，纳尔逊，可能会转化，如果他是体验真实的，持续的，爱从一个社会的盛情款待。

Of course, if things went well, and a real movement of emerging-type churches were to be established in Springfield, we would probably start a Springfield当然，如果事情进展顺利，和一个真正的新兴运动型的教堂要建立在斯普林菲尔德，我们可能会启动一个斯普林菲尔德 Cohort队列 .  And then we could pool resources together and throw a conference.  And of course, Tony Jones (pictured left) could come and speak. 。然后，我们可以集中资源，一起扔一次会议。和当然，托尼琼斯（图左）可以来发言。

Or perhaps, we could get Brian McLaren…或也许，我们可以得到布赖恩麦克拉伦…
