Thanks to my good friend and esteemed colleague Deb Flagg, I am on a email list with Evangelicals for Social Action. In an email I received the other day, they offered a short article by Stephen Hayner entitled, “The Story of the Missional Church.” It is a very concise article focused on the relationship between church history and the emergence of what we are calling the missional church and well worth your time if you’re interested in missional church stuff. It’s here.
