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
