A different story

Well I read beyond page 119 of Organic Church and found this quote:
Ivan Illich was once asked, "What is the most revolutionary way to change society: Is it violent revolution or is it gradual reform?" He gave a careful answer: "Neither. If you want to change society, then you must tell an alternative story," he concluded.
The truth of God's Word will continue to be the truth but maybe we need to tell a story that focuses on his deep desire for relationship with us - so much so that He came to be with us when we had broken relationship with him through our sin. The alternate story might be the napkin theology below.
