A Blog for the Church

From now on The Well blog will be found on TheWellGlobal.com. We will be moving our Leave The Building site and blog.

So, everything “leavethebuilding” is going away. We will have a new Well Global web site, blog, twitter and facebook page.

The question some of you “leave the building” fans might be asking is, “why?” Why spend most of the last two years building the “leave the building” name only to leave it now?

Let me answer that with a short example. Recently I was at a meeting with a group of pastors at a mega-church outside of Atlanta. During the conference I asked a friend if I come across “anti-building.” He laughed as he responded, “um, you do have a web site called leave the building.” I guess it should have been more obvious from the beginning. But I’m a little thick at times.

Our desire was never to be divisive or subversive. We were never saying that a building is bad or that people who worship in a building are out of God’s will. We were just trying to tell our story. Our story is that we left the “traditional” meeting areas to move into homes and smaller venues.

However, we can’t seem to get away from those who think we are putting others down by having a website called leave the building.

So, in the interest of never wanting to harm or be disrespectful to others in the body of Christ, we would rather change our name than be misunderstood.
