imagining how the church can reorient around mission

For the month of January there will be 22 amazing guest posters on "The Drum" from a course I teach at Whitworth University to upper level theology majors entitled, "The Missional Church."  They are required to post twice a week from the readings, class material or their own personal research on the topic.  

The required texts for the class are (along with numerous other essays, videos and articles):

The Missional Church, Edited by Darrell Guder

The Forgotten Ways, written by my buddy, Alan Hirsch

The Gathered AND Scattered Church, by Matt Smay and Hugh Halter

The Newbigin Reader, compiled by my doppelgänger, Paul Weston

Mission Between the Times, a series of essays on the Kingdom of God by Latin American missiologist, Rene Padilla

Peace all,

Rob
