Missio Dei was referenced in a recent Minneapolis Star Tribune Article about House Churches. You can check it out here. I don’t think they captured our essence, but they did an ok job.

Got something to say?
Christarchy! is a growing network of small groups for people who want to put the ethical teachings of Jesus into practice.
Submergent is a network of leaders who, embracing the Anabaptist impulse, are living into the Kingdom of God in a postmodern, post-colonial, post-Christian world. Together, we will re-baptize the Christian imagination!
Anchored in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis, Missio Dei is committed to following Jesus' way of peace, simplicity, prayer, and hospitality.
The Missio Dei Breviary includes morning and evening prayers for one month. Edited (and freely shared) by Missio Dei, it draws primarily upon the Gospels, reflects Anabaptist convictions, and emphasizes missional commitment.
Mark, that is an interesting description of Missio Dei. The journalist also seems to be a little more knowledgeable than the average person about different ways of thinking about church identity and practices.
Yeah, after talking to Pam a couple times I was impressed with her grasp of things. It is interesting that she focused on marital fidelity and singles being celibate. I didn’t bring that up, though I agree with that. I wouldn’t even have thought about articulating it, since it is a given. I wish she would have focused more on our commitment to the West Bank, since locality is huge for us.
