What does it mean to be a Christian?

According to Pete Rollins in a fascinating (if mind melting) interview with Becky Garrison (in the Wittenburg Door)...

It means entering into a journey of becoming one. It does not mean accepting a world view but rather entering into a healing journey of life... Being a Christian means learning how to be the opening of life into the world.

I love that last sentence... it echoes some of our exploration of missio Dei and Shalom... Oh, Lord let me be an "opening of life into the world"
