Come or go?
Mission question on my mind at the moment: can you work with those outside the church and then hope to get them in? For example if I do some outreach youthwork with a group should my aim be to plant a church where they are or to aim to get them to join my existing church (and existing ways of doing things)? Or is there some "third way"?
This has been an issue I have pondered on for a while and my opinions swing. It has proved controversial with some people when I have raised this previously. But why are we some people so afraid of church planting and new expressions of church?
I shall ponder some more!
