I'm a poor blogger

Ok, I have to point people to this essay that Nick (Symbosis) found. I think he has a magic "send me important information" button on this computer, but this is an essay that is a must read because it challenges us right were we are. I spent the weekend at the Board of Directors meeting and "planning thingy" (shows how detailed attentive I am). We were discussing the Missional church and how it effects or should effect the Church of God in Western Canada. We wrestled with a lot of different topics, how do we encourage this Biblical practice in all the churches without it being a heavy handed top down approach? what does Missional look like here? and a variety of other tangents. Anyway, I was able to develop some good brain haze during the second day. But my journey wasn't ended on return to the house, when I received this great Essay The Gospel and the God Forsaken: The Challenge of the Missional Church in Suburbia It is contextualising a lot of what we discussed this weekend. Anyway please read it ant let me know what you think.
