Those of us with too much invested in the way things are will never embrace the revolutionary cause required for wholesale change. - Alan Hirsch

The church of Jesus needs to wake up from the exile of passivity and embrace liminality and adventure or continue to remain a religious ghetto for culturally co-opted, fearful, middle-class folk.

The safety-obsessed church lacks the inner dynamic to foster profound missional impact in our time.

Put simply, the church finds itself in a post-Christendom era, and it had better do some serious reflection or face increasing decline and eventual irrelevance.
