Church follows Mission
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : July 25, 2005
Check out a great conversation that is happening at Radical Congruency (here and here). Here’s a snippet:
all attempts to try [to] contextualise spirituality, theology,
and worship divorced from, and prior to, an active missional engagement
remain futile and frustrating.
I’m not exactly sure I jibe with this statement. If the church IS mission, then any active missional engagement that is done by 2 or more in the name of Christ IS church. However, if by "church" we mean something more institutional or ritualized or more of what we think of as "church," then I wholeheartedly agree. At any rate, it is a worthy matter for discussion.
