Taylor, S (2005) Out of Bounds Church. YS
The out of bounds church
Pp39 – theology of the marginal as seen in the children if Israel
“Follow God, Israel because you as a people were marginal slaves in Egypt. Protect the marginal people, Israel, because you as a people were alien in Egypt”
“A key mission task of the church today is to be a playful space…providing the space for people to make connections between God, themselves, others and God’s world” pp72
“The mission of the church is to act as a resource for spiritual tourists. The church must search for ways to move people from recreation to experimentation to existential relocation into the kingdom of God. “ pp 85
“To share the mission of Jesus is to ask how Jesus’ heart can beat with postmodern blood and how people can be called to love and follow Jesus in a post modern way
“The painting [the Moorish Kitchen Maid] raises the imaginative possibility that the revelation of Christ in community has a missional attraction that draws the bystander and wayfarer in. Redemptive community is missional. It draws in the fringes.” Pp104
“Our contemporary mission then is to see Jesus fleshed out in the postmodern neighbourhood. The incarnation of God calls us to sample from God’s world. This is the mission reflection that must haunt the emerging church” pp138
-----
wonderfully resourceful book, i love the creativity, sampling, cosy community - but I was left wanting more with regards to contempory mission. missional, missiology etc.. well bounded words but it has to be more than attractional eye-candy, and multiple video loops. I was left wanting to know more how such churches bring cohesion to a society fragmented.
