Description
Summary:The Gospel and Our Culture Network is a fast growing and significant movement in North America that is devoted to the task of fostering a missionary encounter with North American culture. This movement is devoted to theological, cultural, and ecclesiological reflection to accomplish this goal. This paper analyzes Missional Church, a book that reflects the missionary ecclesiology of the movement. After placing the GOCN and the ecclesiology of Missional Church in historical context and describing its centering metaphor of “alternative community,” an appreciative critique is offered.
