interview on alternative worship on nomad podast

the guys at nomad podcast interviewed me about alt worship, mission and the like. see what you think… it follows with a  discussion between the presenters around implications for them in a missional community.

some of the things touched upon…

  • where alternative worship came from
  • a movement on the edge that renews from there, especially because of influence through communication technolgies
  • not having to live in two worlds – i.e. making church from the stuff of everyday life and pop culture, avioding the problem of worship in foreign clothes
  • small modest claims
  • doesn’t matter whether you start with worship or mission or whatever else – important thing is getting started, not finding the right forumula
  • worship and mission are both important – in and out
  • missional church danger of not having enough of a spiritual rhythm at the core to fuel faith
  • alt worship danger of just being a different kind of weird
  • ethos shaping community
  • crossing cultures will lead to re-theologising
  • a diverse future framed through contextual mission and theology
