Not Blogging This Week Because …

I’m busy teaching a Doctoral seminar this week at Northern Seminary on “Missional Ecclesiology.” This is keeping me from blogging this week. Below are two ppt. slides we worked on today (Tuesday). We develop these rubrics to understand the assumptions that undergird our practices as “church” and the theology that drives them. Then, by re-examining our cultural and theological assumptions we can reshape the practices of the church (which we lead from) for Mission. I’ll be back next week.
