How the Missional and Emerging Churches are Making the Same Old Mistakes Al
2008-04-05 09:58:00 One of the contrasts that the missional church is making is the difference between relevance and influence.

How the Missional and Emerging Churches are Making the Same Old Mistakes Al
2008-04-03 09:09:00 Again, we?re talking about the both/and rather than the either/or conversation that I?m hearing from the missional/emerging world.

How the Missional and Emerging Churches are Making the Same Old Mistakes Al
2008-03-31 18:46:00 We hear an awfully lot these days about the words ?emerging? and ?misssional.? They in some degree are the same and yet at the core very different.
