Was wir damals unter "missionarisch" verstanden:
Zieh los um zu reden.
Zieh los um zu lehren.
Zieh los um zu urteilen.
Zieh los um zu retten.
Zieh los mit der eindeutigen Haltung dich selbst zu schützen.
Zieh los um die Leute mit zurück in die Kirche zu bringen.
Was wir heute mit "missional" meinen:
Zieh los um zuzuhören.
Zieh los um zu lernen.
Zieh los um zu empfangen.
Zieh los um gerettet zu werden.
Zieh los mit der offenen Haltung Christi.
Zieh los um Kirche zu sein.

The Church
"In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centering on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece, where it became a philosophy.
Then it moved to Rome, where it became an institution.
Next, it moved to Europe, where it became a culture.
And, finally, it moved to America, where it became an enterprise."
(Richard Halverson, former Chaplain of the United States Senate)
