It's this marvellous post from Asbo Jesus that has given me the inspiration.
The future of Beaker Folk worship is clearly not in a medium-sized community. What we need is a SuperMoot where people will meet in regular celebrations of 1,000 souls. Of course we will have nurture groups of 10 or so Beaker people, but the main thrust of the Beaker way will be the 1,000-strong weekly knees-ups. In that way the need for Beaker People to join in largescale worship, lifted up by the sheer loads-of-other-people-ness will be met. That's the way forward - and surely the Beaker Mission will be easier when people know that it's a big, successful fellowship they're joining. Who knows? From 1,000 we could easily reach 2,000. And then we would split, and create Beaker SuperMoot North in Newport Pagnell - and SuperMoot South in Dunstable (although it might be demolished on a regular basis).
The vision is great. Now I've just got to find another 950 people.
