The missional church is not a new trend or the latest new technique for reaching postmodern people.

We will have to take risks, to chance failure, to be willing to walk away from the familiar paths that have brought us to this point.

Judgments about who belongs in the Hall of Fame are extremely subjective.

A missional church is a church that must live the dialectic. It must stay in the journey.

Most churches don't have the resources for these tricks and inducements but are still bound to the imagination that church happens on a Sunday in a building.

In missional churches, the baby birds have been pushed out of the nest and are learning to fly for themselves.

Our preferences for stability and security blind us to the opportunities for adventure when they present themselves.
