Must be something in the water. Paul Fromont, Alan Creech, Jonny Baker, & Todd Hunter are all talking about similar stuff. What does it mean to really be “missional”? What is the “emerging church”?

Are these just trendy words that make us feel better about what little we do or are they truly formative? What are good metaphors for Church? Should we keep using the same ones that scripture uses, in other words, do they stilll work? Or should we develop new metaphors? It’s a lot easier to talk about things than to really do them. It’s even easier to do things without really being shaped or formed internally. That’s what I’d like to see – some real internal formation (maybe “de-formation” and “re-formation”) in the church today and in myself.
