this is forever!

girl who firmly follows the fashion trend,
It really brings me some fresh feelings with addtional insights into today’s world.

While video teaching may not be missional for some, perhaps video teaching can be incorporated in missional communities and local churches in other ways. Granted, differing local contexts and different leaders define the semantic boundaries of a word like “missional” and that’d yield different convictions.

And there are other ways of being missional beyond preaching alone. One example is Northland Church and how it enables house churches to be missional through video teaching — http://blogs.northlandchurch.net/2008/02/19/starting-a-northland-house-church/

For one example of a multi-site chuch that is very missional, see my interview with Charles Lee at http://learnings.leadnet.org/2009/12/how-one-multisite-church-merged-into-another-multisite-church.html

Not stirring deliberately but what does this say about blogging? Can blogging, an inherantly translocal phenomenon, be missional?

We need more priests in the hood – (aka priesthood of believers) not clones of what works in a neighboring community.

Five years ago I might have been on board with video messages/satellite campuses, but to me you lose many of the relational aspects that should make up a church when you move towards video site.

Can you define your concept of “local church” for me? Thanks. I think once I understand that, I’ll be able to respond more clearly with my thoughts.

I appreciate your feedback David, and your push back as well Bill. I always learn from respectful discourse.

Thanks for fostering this conversation when others seem to be giving it up.
