Beginning Assault on Missional?

Published by Rick Meigs on January 29th, 2010 in Missional.

Back on January 17th in 9Marks on Missional, I took Jonathan Leeman, Director of Communications for 9Marks, to task on his post, “Is the God of the Missional Gospel Too Small?”

Since then there has been a number of others who have entered the fray including those listed below. Together they form a pretty good critic of Mr. Leeman’s scantily documented, poorly thought-out and generally uninformed article.

Leeman’s assault on the missional conversation should not be taken lightly, so I urge you to give each of these posts a read so you can become conversant with the arguments and rebuttals. Leeman may just be the opening shot of more to come.

“A Growing Divide? 9 Marks and Missional”
“Missing the Missional Mark”
“You Might Not Be Missional…”
“The Missional Slope, or Should Have Linked to Kinnon”
“Losing the Plot”

Is it just me or is it coincidence that on the “about us” page all (bar one) of the “key writers” are photographed leaning to the right? ;-)

LOL. I hadn’t noticed that Mark. Coincidence? One wonders.
