Rather than edit and write a new post I wanted to suggest that we have always sought a way to reify church. If as Hauerwas and Willion suggest we should just accept the "language of Zion" and provide the meaning as people come into our churches that is fine. But, there is always the need to find a way to head that way. "Missional Church" would be redundant if the church had been consistently seeing itself as the means whereby God carried out his mission for the good of the world. Sadly that is not the consistent case. Always bad to be the first to comment on your own post.
