I was very fascinated to read on Tim’s blog about the “The Nine Essential Practices of Missional Churches.” I have just finished reading “God’s missionary people” by Van Engen, and so this was an interesting parallel which I hope to explore more in future posts. For now only the list of these practices:
- Have a High Threshold for Membership
- Be Real, Not Real Religious
- Teach to Obey Rather Than to Know
- Rewrite Worship Every Week
- Live Apostolically
- Expect to Change the World
- Order Actions According to Purpose
- Measure Growth by Capacity to Release, Not Retain
- Place Kingdom Concerns First
More another time, as I am leaving for the airport.
Echt gute Punkte!
