When a guy has a track record of leading missional churches throughout Europe and the United States for more than 25 years, the result of which required he serve as Senior Rector at St. Thomas Sheffield (It was the largest church in England when Mike left it to come to America and lead 3DM.), I take note - and I take notes.
Here's one keeper from Mike's workshop this morning:
"The church is experienced on the continuum between: Temple and Home (Oikos), Formal and Informal, Resource and Relationship, Organization and Organism, Gathered and Scattered, Structured and Spontaneity. That's why you hear different voices saying different things about the church at different times."
No wonder we're calling this The AND Conference.
Acts 20:20 - You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.
Great being there, Mark. Great to meet the team. Loved it.
