The Metanarrative

The Revival Fellowship Narrative (or, more appropriately, metanarrative) functions similarly to any organisation's narrative. Within the fellowship, explanations and rationalisations for our stance and doctrines are provided by or through the narrative. This narrative is the fellowship's formational, foundational ideas, beliefs, and concepts. It's the stories we tell each other.

Our Revival Fellowship narrative is a pervasive (and somewhat elusive or invisible) influence on every story told about "The way things are", "The way things should be", and "The way we do things around here". The fellowship's narrative is the lens through which all our vision occurs. Having a narrative is to be expected and is not necessarily a bad thing. Still, those who look through the narrative's lens without question or due concern for discovering God's truth - His message to us - are unknowingly looking through a broken, cloudy lens perceiving the imaginary as real and seeing the mistaken as God-given truth.
