Mike Frost defines “missional” and I put in my 2 cents…
Part of this is a response to another CT article expressing misgivings of the “missional church movement.”
If I - as a missionay-type - get this at all “missional” and “attractional” are descriptive of a posture - either being “out there” with the Gospel among people, joining God in the “highways and hedges” or positioning ourselves with the best programs, messages, “hooks” and attractions possible to bring people near to where we are so that we can give them the Gospel. It’s not about big v small, or complex v simple, or smoke machines v kumbaya. It’s about a posturing (as Mike in his gravely Aussie voice puts it) the church not around “evangelism” - as good as that might be - or “community” for the sake of community or worship as the ultimate mandate of the church but around mission - the sending of God.
