I'm worried you're being a little bit harsh in this post though! Worldwide the 'missional' 'emerging' Church is reaching a lot of people in a way that our mainstream churches are not. They are still part of THE Church and a part of what God is doing (that's cooler than any name!). Most mainstream churches are based on attraction and maintenance ..... this re-look at what mission will mean as the core value and practice has been really important for re-ingaging with community. Sometimes too we need new words to be able to discuss and reflect on things. I'm not sure Issac Newton would have been able to explore and understand Gravity so well and present it to the world if he'd stuck with the perfectly good word "falling" Wishing you every blessing in your ministry and I look forward to seeing how the blog develops. Paul,
