I was chatting today with Brad, one of our interns from the Seventh Day Adventist church. They have just completed a serious 4 day church plant training camp with 30 key leaders.

During the experience he was speaking with an aboriginal church planter who told him that when it comes to statements of faith, they use stories rather than statements.

So rather than saying ‘We believe God is the creator’, they tell the creation story. The exodus is a deliverance / salvation story. I found this a really interesting way to do things and very ‘un-evangelical’. I liked it…

It got me thinking, what stories would we include and which would we leave out?
