"going to the Army"

I found an awesome quote recently in Revolution in the Church by Michael Brown, in it he compares church to an Army…. as in military (think war & camouflage, not brass bands & uniforms), what a novel idea!
He is speaking about our perception and experience of "church" and how that affects our mission... doing vs. being. I don’t think he intended it to be directed to the Salvation Army, but it certainly fits us as a movement! Have a read...

“What about the Army? What if the local officers and enlisted members met together once or twice a week and discussed military strategy, displayed the latest weaponry, watched inspirational war films and sang favourite battle songs?
And what if attending those meetings became known as “going to the Army”? What kind of Army would we have? How many battles would we win (if we ever made it to battle at all)?
The problem, of course, is the concept of “going to the Army” instead of “being the Army.” What a life-and-death difference lies between the two!
And what if the Army’s meeting place also became known as “the Army”? Confusion would reign, resulting in misguided and misplaced military efforts, since the focus would be on the meeting (not the results of the meeting) and the meeting place (as if a nice building could defeat an enemy).”
