The missional church trains all of its members to think and believe that their public life and vocation is apart their missionary/sent lives as Christians. There is way more to it but that is something that has been on my mind as I serve in this new gospel community endeavour.

The primary apparent flaw with the missionSHIFT missional manifesto conference is the grossly over-representation of white, male, middle-class, American clergy of the church planting variety. So many voices are not represented. Women, non-Americans, the poor, sexual minorities, other types of ministers (hospital & prison chaplains, people who work with children, the homeless, in hospice, college ministries.) The result is destined to be much of the same unless we open up the table to the full body of Christ.

Look at the early church one of the first converts to Christianity was a surgically altered, gender-variant, rich civil servant from Africa (the Ethiopian Eunuch) who went home w/ Good News and to this day a church traces its roots to that person. Radical inclusion. New Wine in New Wine Skins.

Not mine, but somewhat helpful: “A missional church is a unified body of believers, intent on being God’s missionary presence to the indigenous community that surrounds them, recognizing that God is already at work.” ~~ From the Jan-Mar ’10 issue of Bibliotheca Sacra

Being a missionary in your own context sent on mission by Jesus to be a sign and instrument of the Missio Dei.
