Paul is one of the Staff Editors at Matthias Media. He is married to Cathy and has three fantastic kids. He loves student ministry, reading, writing music and playing the saxophone, and is looking forward to meeting Jesus face to face.
Becoming “missional guys” should be our top priority. Evidence, both anecdotal and hard, suggests to me that we are not doing terribly well with regards to evangelism and outreach—certainly not as well as a lot of us assumed.
I don’t have an easy answer. I think we need to look at those ministries that are seeing significant numbers of conversions, find out what they are doing, and then use those lessons to build some new tools and strategies.
I/we should pray more, begging for God’s mercy.
Gracious and wise counsel from our own home town prophet.
I don’t think the sycophants will be waiting for Mark’s return though; they’ll be downloading the latest offerings from Seattle. Whatever you make of Driscoll, he is clearly a man of influence. Is he the most listened to preacher in Sydney?
This is just so wise, and exhibits fine leadership.
Thank you so much
Further to PDJ’s advice against the third option (doing nothing), it would be a shame if we only sought change on those points which we were already decided upon. I have heard lots of Sydney Anglicans talk up some of the 18 points, but mainly those points we’re already on board with (need for more church planting, etc.). I would like to see some serious discussion on those issues which strike at our most sacred of cows—particularly the issue of offering alternative theological delivery systems. Moore College offering serious part-time options? That would be one remarkable change in policy.
Wise insights.
Sycophants or dopplegangers?
I read on someone’s blog somewhere “we have preserved the institution and lost Sydney”. Driscoll suggested we have an irrelevant orthodoxy (better than a relevant heterodoxy but we can do better).
Marty is dead right: we must be willing to re-examine those things most sacred to us, I take it, so that we might apply 1 Corinthians 9:22.
Is missional the new ontological?
‘Orrible word.
What do people mean by it, and is there an alternative one we can use instead?
