Quiz: What's Your Model of Church?

I just checked my long standing friend Barbara's blog at Titbits and Treasures and she's completed a quiz that might appeal to the "churchies" among us. I've just given it a go myself, and here's my results:

You scored as Herald Model. Your model of the church is Herald. The organization of the church is much less important than the urgency of announcing the Good News of salvation to all the world. The Holy Spirit moves the individual to belief in Jesus Christ and to do the will of the Father by sharing this message with others. As with other models, the narrowness of this model could be supplemented by drawing on other models.

Herald Model

89%

Mystical Communion Model

78%

Servant Model

61%

Sacrament model

56%

Institutional Model

22%

Funny thing, I did the quiz first time last night, but messed up the HTML code on the blog, so re-did it this morning. The latest results (above) still firmly declare I'm "Heraldic" (cool terminology.. have to remember that one!) Mysteriously overnight my "Mystical" side appears to have overtaken my "Servant" side. One score stayed the same: 22% for "Institutional Model". Too many people getting that kind of score won't keep parish priests, pastors and rabbis happy, but may account for why I'm often happiest out in the uncharted waters of the unchurched.
