Ouweneel @ momentum

Last weekend I visited the momentum festival which was organised by Soulsurvivor and Navigators. At saturday drs. Willem Ouweneel spoke in depth about the workings of The Spirit. It was the first time I heard him and besides good content he had a lot of humour. It was one of the little topics during the larger setting that touched me the most. It related to the developments between denominations that are happening at the moment. He told that differences between denominations are less salient at this moment. He said that the cause of this is that within all denominations there are churches paying more attention to the workings of the Holy Spirit. So denominations become less differing and salient, but the churches are getting much more diverse within their denomination. Up until this point I was aware of this, but I thought the result of this would be more unity and harmony within christian Holland. Mr. Ouweneel said he expected more problems for the future. The differing thing was that he did not expect problems between the dominations, but within. He said that at some point the denominations will find that the greater differences within the denominations that are coming into existence today will be the problems of tomorrow. He said that at some point the new differences that start at the bottom of the denomination will at some point meet at the top and create tension. Based on this line of reason Mr Ouweneel said that he expects trouble in the future within denominations. Basically he suggests that the whole movement that is going with the PKN and broader with churches that are trying to cooperate and integrate is doomed to fail. This is what struck me and what I had not expected. It is just an interesting line of reason he made, I´ll keep it in mind and see what will happen in the future.
