Haven’t been into a lot of reading on “missional church” but your perspectives relate very well and are challenging. God willing, where it comes to leaving my comfort zone, your blog will help the rubber finally meet the road.

Wow! You certainly speak into my liminal space with this piece. As I discern with the Diocese the fleshing out of my call to ordination, I needed to hear God again, “Incarnational Ministry.This is your call!” Not to be assigned to a huge church, spinning wheels for the institution, but out in the streets, working as a pastor or as a country parson, meeting folks where they are and speaking God’s Truth into their liminal spaces. Individually and as an institution the church has so much to do, and listening and loving one another unconditionally is where it all begins.
Blessings, Brother upon you and yours at Taylor. Hoping to be with the family of “Uptown” again in the near future! Keep us posted as to retreat dates.
Frankie
