Seeker vs. Missional — Part One

[JewishHeart]

Mark,

This is great!

The only difference I agree with you is about "sharing" or preaching...the early church had both.

1 Cor 14

Also the Chinese and Indian church have women leaders and church planters and they are nowhere near "seeker".

While I agree with your assessment, I disagree with the examples you used. Chinese believers have women leaders and have sharing instead of preaching in houses... yet they are far from seeker sensetive.

Very well explained Mark.

you have put into words something that I have felt and haven't been able to express. I read the book purpose driven church and while I found many things that I thought were wise and useful I had a ting of discomfort and couldn't put my finger on it. one way I had tried to express my worry with the seeker church pattern is that it provides a way for people have no plan or desire to commit to discipleship to be identified with christ. the potintial for compromising our testimony is enormous here.
