Problem or mystery?

David Lose asks some great questions:

So is church attendance a problem? Or are changing attitudes about church participation and the spiritual life more generally a mystery? Is biblical illiteracy the problem? Or is living in a world with multiple meaning-making stories a mystery that we haven’t faced before (at least not for about 1500 years!)? Is the problem that we don’t understand stewardship? Or is the fact that more and more of us want to give money not because we feel like we ought to, but because the organization we’re supporting makes a tangible difference a mystery worthy of our attention?

Part of why I find the Art of Hosting practices so powerful, and complexity theory so fascinating, is because I think I see more mystery than problem in the world today.
