Thoughts on what it looks like to live in the already, but not yet, Kingdom of God, knowing that I will never get it completely figured out, but enjoying the journey and asking people I meet to join me on the Dusty Path that is being a disciple of Jesus.

Missional Church
Over coffee at the Blue Mug the other day, my friend Geoff and I got talking about what it means to be a missional church. Must it mean -- as Geoff and I had tended to agree it did previously -- that the church as a body moved saw itself as part of the Missio Dei and thus acted outwardly (in mission) together. Or, might it mean also a church where the individual members lived lives of missionality?
Put another way, does the church have to act together or can it be comprised of people who incarnate Christ to the world individually. I'm tending to think both.
