Category:Missional Christianity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Missional Christianity is a term used by participants in the emerging church movement to describe their largely corporal and temporal view of "outreach." The emergent co-opt of this jargon has stirred controversy among Christians since there is no universally agreed upon definition of the term within the emerging church movement. Observers outside of the movement have noted that the word means to emergents something other than the concepts described by traditional terms such as "evangelism" and "discipleship" since proponents of "missional living" do not use such terms to describe their activity. As with much "insider jargon" in the emerging church movement, one must ascertain what each individual who uses this term means by his or her specific communication.
