The Third Space

Great first day of Catalyst West Coast.  Erwin McManus' opening session on "third spaces" was inspiring and challenging.  McManus divides one's relational life into three spaces: 1st space is where people are like you, you are the norm.  The church is often a 1st space where no aliens or outsiders are allowed; 2nd space is a broader set of relationships where not everyone is like you, yet there's still relationships; 3rd space is where there's no relationships, and there won't be unless invited; you are the alien.
