Seeking a Missional Imagination

November 13, 2008 in Church with 2 Comments

Missional life isn’t formed in the ideals and formulas of those who
retreat into some non-contextual space or create stories from
elsewhere. It is formed in the concrete, ordinariness of the men and
women who make up local churches and pitch their tents in
neighborhoods. This is where the missional imagination emerges.

    I like the way he describes the mission being "formed in the concrete ordinariness of the men and women who make up local churches…"

    When some speak of being missional, I think they mean they want to schedule a service project or something, but being missional really is found in the "concrete odinariness of our lives." I think it boils down to having a mindset where you are willing to lay aside your time, money, or comfort in order to love other people. This can happen at your house, the coffee shop, at work, or whereever. Once people get this mindset then the "missional imganination" can explode.
