Michael Frost on Missional Church

I'm a big fan of the book The Shaping of Things To Come by Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch - it has revolutionized my thinking on church. I've heard a couple of talks by Hirsch, but never anything by Michael Frost until I found this, which was a talk given to some Presbyterians last year. It's a long video, but I think you'll find it worthwhile if you want to learn more about what it means to be a missional church. I thought his explanation of where the word "ecclesia" (the church) comes from and what our churches should be about was amazing (and very Rob Bell like).

Hey Adam

It's some of the best teaching on missional Church that there is...

Johnny,

Most definitely. His story at the end is also great - being in Montreal.

I wonder what the reaction of these Presbyterian leaders was.
