January 21st, 2008, 3 Comments
Here’s a very, very interesting video of a talk by David Fitch about using missional orders as a church planting strategy.
“The way we used to plant churches (in the Christendom era) was as organization. An established church structure … paid somebody… with the distinctives of the denomination, the tags, the franchise…”. But that [...]

Here’s a summary and responses to chapter 2 of George Hunter’s The Celtic Way of Evangelism.
In chapter two, Hunter describes the form of community life that was shaped in early Celtic Christianity.
In general, Celtic Christianity was more a movement than Roman Christianity’s tendency to institution; it incorporated more laity in ministry and less ordained clergy; [...]

Chapter 1 of George Hunter’s “The Celtic Way of Evangelism” sets the historical framework for Patrick’s interaction with the Celtic peoples in the British isles.

I deeply resonate with this [...]

Things I wonder/worry about:
Discussion time – a panel… (I’ll just type out the question, i’m tired of sumamrizing answers at the speed of light :-) – ).
