How does the life of the church endure across generations?
In the movie Big Hero 6, Tadashi lives on through his robot creation, Baymax. Before his passing, Tadashi programmed Baymax and installed him with a flash drive. This drive contained everything about Tedashi: his core values, character, beliefs, cares, pains, etc.
Through this artifact, Tadashi continues to influence and care for his younger brother, Hiro, even after he is gone.
Near the climax of the story, Baymax also dies, or rather, his physical form dies.
The story seems bookended by loss: first Tadashi, then his artifact, Baymax.
However, the turning point comes when Hiro discovers he still has the hard drive, allowing him to construct a new body and restore Baymax.
In a similar way, church forms die too. And that’s ok.
The church’s life isn’t about the form. It needs form, but that’s all it is. Form.
