Well, my internet connection finally was worked out, so I can actually post something again finally. Let's just say it's not fun when your DSL company keeps sending your bill to a different city because according to its computer, the community you live in doesn't exist.
Anyway, a couple of posts ago, I alluded to Dan Kimball's book "Emerging Worship", and in that book, he did a good job of describing the huge difference foundationally between a regular church and a missional church. So, voila, I found the diagrams I did when I read the book (yes, they're in black and white and not very good, but you'll get the point, I think), so above is the first model, which is what churches usually do.

Good Stuff! Thanks!
I used the two illustrations with my own commentary of my blog. Abdcutive Columns
Simple, yes, but because they're black and white, they download faster.
Curious: The missional approach is extremely similar to the Vineyard's approach to church-planting. However, some (not all) Vineyards seem to have inverted the pyramid back to "traditional" once they finally get to meeting corporately.
I wonder if this has happened in other places, and if so, what can we learn from their journey?
