CHURCH OR KINGDOM??

Broken Stained Glass is musing on some questions after the Emergent Gathering: Here are a couple that caught my eye:

How do we become the Research and Development department of the Kingdom of God?

Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God, not the church. Why do we as followers of Christ focus so much on church and not on the Kingdom of God? [Could the church block our understanding of the Kingdom of God?]

After I've had some pondering time, I'll post some thoughts.
