At the same conference in Denver and now listening to a presentation by Jamie Wright Being the Worst Missionary Ever. She hates the words missionary and missional. Its a loaded term. Its got lots of baggage. They can range from building houses, running an inner-city school, helping villages have clean water, engineering, gardening, agriculture, tending to orphans, and.... it can be an industry ..... and it can mean imposing Christianity onto people. Nobody wants to be the next moving target for a Christians intentional, missional aims. Shes calling for breaking things down to specific actions - in order to critically evaluate them and discern whether or not the Church should be engaged in those specific things. Example: Does your church support missions? No, our church supports orphans. Thoughts?
