Question for you: How can a Constantinian church keep sending out "church planters" expecting them to be different? Aren't they just building "mini-constantinoples"? How does one who wishes to truly be missional unlearn their constantinian ways and truly become a light in their community? And if you reply as we think you will, how does one support the church planter in such a way that they don't revert back to the old power model and their old ways which they have been steeped in? The traditional church cannot and will not give up it's powerbase and allow decentralization no matter what! Aren't the two forces totally opposing? Is it not the "napster" effect to music or the "skype" effect to telecommunications? Deacon: Our argument is that this is virtually impossible using today's theology and students of Constantinian ways. Entire denominations are founded on this, how in the world can they cover such an undertaking, though many have programs in place? Shouldn't we be sending people into non-Constantinian environments for them to truly become missional? We westerners have a tendency to simply "term it", "claim it" and "preach it" without any foundation other than someone else's book, teachings or opinions. Summary: The Constantinian cannot play missional without dismembering itself, can it? Usher: Nice to read something based on fact and not theory.
