People Groups, Churches and Blogging

First, let me apologize for the fact that this blog has not been maintained too well. All three of us have hit a busy spell. But, I do hope to continue blogging here, even if my comprades do not. Though, they have not expressed any desire to quit blogging.

I cannot post with a great deal of frequency here myself, even on the light weeks. So, I have decided that once and possibly twice a week will be enough here.

So, what will I be posting about? Well there are three things I would like to do. First, I would like to start going through a book on Contextualization edited by Gilliand called, The Word Among Us. Second, I hope to profile a few people groups, maybe once or twice a month. Third, I will be discussing how your church can be involved with missions overseas, or to put it another way: how your church can mobilize for missions.

I hope that these topics will be a fruitful time of discussion about missions and ecclesiology.

Through Christ,
Dougald

Great Question

Over at Alan's blog he has posted a great question that deals somewhat with what we are discussing in the previous comment thread. I think it would be worth reading and pondering. As always, Alan has asked great questions. And also, those who comment always seem to offer that good discussion in Christian love just as we have here. So, I was just passing this along.

Also, check out our links. We'll be adding to those as we go along. And, if you have any good links for missions post them and we'll add them.

Through Christ,

Dougald

Blogging and Time

As I have posted on my other blogs, the time I have for blogging is little. So, to give blogging the full time that I needs I have decided that I will not start posting regularly until April 1st. I may post here two or three times during this period because I'll be teaching on a biblical theology of missions at my church, but other than that I probably won't post.

So, I hope that my compadres will pick up the pace (at least one of them perhaps). I will stop by and comment from time to time.

Through Christ,
Dougald

The Beauty and Fufilling Nature of Our God

My good friend, Mark Eidel posted a wonderfully written piece on his reflections on Psalm 34:8. Please check it out:

Welcome

Welcome to "Missions as Ecclesiology." Here, we hope to discuss various things related to missions and ecclesiology. These two subjects, usually, are actually the same. We hope that our discussions foster further thoughts into the strong connection between missions and ecclesiology. To put it another way, we hope that this blog connects missions and the local church. We'll be discussing things that we have read and analyzing things, so feel free to comment and discuss these things with us.

Through Christ,
