Wow, what a lecture! I am new to all that is going on in the UK and hearing about it today was incredible, especially when considering the implications that the learning done during the past five years over there can hopefully prepare us in the U.S. for what is already happening. I am glad that Dr. Bolger went over the study on Monday, otherwise I would not have gotten as much out of it as I did.
It's exciting to hear the term "incarnational" applied to ministry among people from the same country as the person doing the ministry. I understand the theories underlying what Bishop Cray spoke on, but now I am left trying to figure out what exactly that looks like- for me, among my anti-Christian friends and family. How do I just spontaneously being a Fresh Expression in one of the communities that I belong to? From this place that I find myself in, it seems almost easier to go abroad to a greatly different country and do incarnational work among strangers. What is it that makes it so hard to do and be incarnational amidst the communities that I participate in?
