Part 4: Is Our Building a Help or a Hindrance? Fred Batterton
Mission An important assignment given to a person or group of people. Hindrance A thing that provides resistance, delay, or obstruction to something or someone.
Mission • Love God • Love your neighbour • Make disciples • Teach • Specific local / national / international
History • Built to last • Built as icons • Built for then • Conservation - a modern enterprise • Stifling the Mission ?
Separation • Early church were borrowers of space • Multi-function with community pre-1700 • Then seperate community halls built • Church lost community focus • Private members religious club image • Enter only if prepared to say the creed
Retail thresholds • Successful retail minimises the threshold • Seeing in first • Is what you see what you get? • Lifestyle benefits of buying
Moment of Truth • Principle in retail • Customer measures promises against experience • Applies as they enter the premises • Updated every few seconds • Gap between claim and delivery?
