ReDirection - What Is Missional? - Synchoblog
When I decided to participate in this "What Is Missional?" Syncroblog, I was initially nervous. After all, I am not a theologian or a particularly accomplished "practitioner". However, I am passionately committed to follow Christ, along with my community, to become the peculiar people He has called us to be. After all, the stakes are high. I am not exploring this out of curiosity or intellectual interest, but because I see in my inner city neighbourhood (and moreso in my own life) the desperate need for saving transformation. And so I will try to wrestle it our here.
Perhaps one of the biggest reasons that the term "missional" get so over-used, misused and abused is that it cannot be understood apart from the "mission" that is at its root (both etymologically and conceptually). At the heart of God's mission is the Gospel. While "What is the Gospel?" could be a Syncroblog in and of itself, I have always started with this very basic premise...
