Missional Habits

Have you read David Fitch's post about Instilling missional habits in a congregation? In it he outlines nine old habits to reject and offers alternatives along the way. It makes interesting reading. For example:

Kindly Reject doing Outreach Events. Instead direct imagination towards ways of connecting with people where they are.

and:

Kindly reject the Sunday morning gathering as an evangelistic event for it cannot be that in the new post Christendom cultures. Instead fire up imagination for the formation that comes from a communal encounter with the living God in Jesus Christ.

Worth a read.
