More Random Ramblings...
Would love some input and perspective from my fellow homeschoolers...those who are accustomed to the funny questions and have their humorous responses tucked neatly up their sleeves. You know, when those you run into ask the all too common "socialization" questions, the "are you qualified" questions, the looks of serious doubt plastered over their faces..."Those" questions.
Now, let's change the terms, shall we. What if you ran into "home-churchers"? "Eclectic Churchers"? "Relaxed Churchers"? "Un-Churchers"? "Charlotte Mason..." Well, maybe not exactly... Get the idea of where I'm going with this?
Do the reasons we school at home carry into the world of "organized religion"? In like manner, might we find some of the same objections? While passionately standing for the right to instruct our kids according to their needs, gifts, challenges, interests, etc., might we also find ourselves needing to church according to such? Networking with those who have similar interests? "Home Church Groups"? Does meeting together REQUIRE meeting according to institutional guidelines, or is there room, Biblically, to meet together much as we are passionately doing in our homeschool circles, but in a worship based manner? Would the questions be much the same in that context?
Just tossing this out for some consideration, as I recall once upon a time thinking it very odd when I met people who did home church. Now, I'm not so sure it's all that different from the idea of homeschooling...protecting one's own from the quenching of institutional life. Any blogging buddies with experiences or stories? |
