This series of papers, written and published over the last three years is now in a very simple format for easy understanding without the feeling of being patronised over the simplicity of the key and critical issues.
Bryan Knell has the knack of challenging the church’s presuppositions about mission personnel and carefully and sensitively asks us to take a journey to explore the church versus the mission agency approach. He seeks to create an environment for win-win for the church in having significant involvement in the wider mission enterprise that does not just mean “sending” someone “out”. He asks us to think through the concept of relating to “the world biblically and not just Great Commisionally”. Changing the church culture of mission is a key element of Knell’s thinking, one that probably, for many churches, needs a revolution rather than an evolution.
At 26 pages A4 with helpful boxed summaries this is one of those must-reads for the busy church leader, mission chairman. Impressive!
