The movement started in Australia, and now is planting missional communities throughout the world, using a 3-12- 120 type of concept, combined with deliberate social engagement strategies combined with the networking strength of intentional communities that work together to transform culture. It works, and in a wide variety of situations. David – Fusion International does what you are talking about – and in a highly developed way.

The lens is completely different. If the church is to be an alternative culture.. but mostly is not.. then the question of how we create culture is primary. We need counter-formational disciplines, yes, but more broadly the description above gets at the relational and Spirit dynamic. And its critical that we form a culture because "culture forms attention." david, your response above.. bang on. The lens is completely different.

I am aware of the overlap with Prof Coleman's work. Thanks for mentioning it. However, although there is overlap, I thnk the underlying assumptions are vastly different (say between what Crouch is talking about and what Coleman is describing as a discipleship method). Not wishing to tak anyhting away from the kind of discipleship that Coleman is advocating (I'm a fan), I think there is an ability to create a social community, an ethos of the Spirit which incarnates the presense of Christ socially in the surrounding city (or community etc.) and changes the culture for Christ, in so doing changes peoiples lives. It begins differently than by say one guy discpling three guys and then the three doing it again to another three (although again this is important). There is the power of a politic embodying Christ in the surrounding culture against social ills, evils and injustices, as well as speaking and ministering verbaly the salvation of God in Christ in each sitaution that begins with a way of life birth socially in a missional community. This is what I am talking about in this post. Hope this clarifies. Have I accurately read the differences between myself and Coleman?

He says the same sort of stuff. Basically that Jesus started with a couple of people and those people took on a couple of others until we end up with 2.2 billion people today identifying themselves as Christian. True change can only come from life-on-life ministry. This is pretty much a re-working of the classic “The Master Plan of Evangelism” by Robert Coleman. He says the same sort of stuff.
