I recently came across this quiz on 'The Ooze'. I thought it was quite interesting. Link.
Personally, I scored highest in the 'Herald Model' meaning that the organization is secondary to the church's principle purpose of proclaiming the Gospel. I think that how you feel about church is often the combination of theology and experience. More specifically how you view God most directly impacts what you think His people should be doing. If God is primarily concerned with redemption of individuals than a church that loudly proclaims the Gospel is needed. If God rather wants to bring about a sort of cultural or social redemption (through His people) than a more social justice model fits.

Small world I also scored the Highest in the Herald model.
Nice blog and webpage.
Hey Lee,
Not so small world anymore, I took your quiz and I'm not surprised about the answer at all...
"You scored as Servant Model
Your model of the church is Servant. The mission of the church is to serve others, to challenge unjust structures, and to live the preferential option for the poor. This model could be complemented by other models that focus more on the unique person of Jesus Christ.
Mystical Communion Model 72%
Servant Model 72%
Sacrament model 61%
Herald Model 28%
Institutional Model 6%"
Thanks for the idea.
Robin
