Sunday, April 03, 2005Leaders Cultivate a Missional Environment Alan Roxburgh says: "A culture is an environment in which people are shaped by common habits, values and practices. Culture is about a way of life that is more than any single individual or an aggregate of individuals doing similar things. A missional culture is an interdepedent system formed out of a set of common habits, practices, and values. Developing a missional culture is about the formation of a way of life generally not present in current congregations. A congregation with a missional culture understands mission not in terms of what it does, but who it is as God's people. This requires a radical shift in imagination. In order to make this shift possible, you need capacities to create processes whereby people continually engage in dialog with the gospel narratives, their tradition and the context in which they are located."
