Hi,
"The Mennonite" magazine is conducting a poll on the term "missional" at
<http://www.themennonite.org/>http://www.themennonite.org/
Right next to it is an article promoting the concept. (So, it is fair for me to offer a counter opinion) The concepts are fine, it's just that those concepts are not connected to the word for 74% of Mennonites (according to another recent poll), and I would wager 100% of non-Mennonites. Don't we have enough of a lack of communication with words that have meaning to us without making up new ones devoid of meaning.
That is all I have to say.
Ray
