I hear ther term missional everywhere.... and the localnchurch is applying it to the same old- same old... they have always done.
"The idea of missional church has gained tremendous traction over the last decade. But the most common missteps and misnomers among well-intentioned, rightly motived leaders happen when the word missional is used merely as a fresh term for outreach and evangelism. The difference is this: Missional doesn’t visit the neighborhood. It moves into the neighborhood. To be missional is not simply to evangelize; it is to do the hard work of an evangelist— getting to know those who need to hear the message, learning the language and the cultural setting.
