Others part II

It is a death [of a church] that will take us from a maintenance mentality to a mind-set of mission-before-everything-else; from a concern about formal membership to a commmitment to call men and women to radical and authentic discipleship; from an emphasis on denominational policies and practices to an energising pragmatism that is willing to try whatever works in communicating the whole gospel to the whole person in the whole community; from a strategy of invitation, which tries to figure out how we can get people to 'come to church', to a missiology of incarnation which is willing to take the church and the Lord of the the church to the people wherever they are...pg 68 Chick Yuill
