“We were never called to relevance. We were always called to risk. The Church was born in the heat of Pentecost, not the glow of stage lights. She was fed by martyrs, not marketers. Built on prophets, not brand managers….She is a holy mess. A muddy, blood-stained bride. And she is glorious because her Lord is glorious.”
(Donovan Riley – The Ragged Word) In the age of platforms and protocols, the Church is tempted to forget she has a soul.
Power is shifting. Not to kings or parliaments. Not to priests or poets. But to the unelected minds behind code and control. Men and women who do not govern with swords or ballots, but with data, dashboards, and the soft leash of convenience.
They are the new stewards of power. They are software architects, corporate planners, and perception managers. Their domain is behavioral design. Their creed is efficiency. Their liturgy is optimization. Their sacrament is control.
And the great danger is this: many churches have already begun to kneel.
