Exploring the gauntlet. . .

Thanks Tammie for your interesting post; I am glad you were able to join our blog.

* I have several reflection questions for the class to consider. As you review the 18 missiological questions, which issue is the most vital for you? Why?

* I had asked Jason about a recurring theme in the text; you already touched on it. These themes will continue to emerge in our discussions. The issue of ecclesiology, the incarnating 2,000 year old body of Christ--the church is a key issue. Community/church are key kingdom issues, see page 47. What are your reflections on a kingdom-oriented ecclesiology? The missio Dei becomes central to our purpose and focus, in other words, joining God in His mission is the main thing. What is the main thing in your kingdom community (church)?
