Recommended: Reformissionary

One of the best ministry blogs I've run across is "Reformissionary," by Pastor Steve McCoy. I encourage you to visit at http://www.stevekmccoy.com

Pastor McCoy has good thoughts, quotations, and links related to reformissional ministry. "Reformission" (a buzzword these days) seems to refer to the more orthodox versions of emerging church ministry, and in particular the church assuming a missionary stance to its surrounding community.

If you like photography, you'll enjoy his site too. In fact, it's one of the big draws for me.

Check it out!

UPDATE: Here's a quote from Mark Driscoll that defines "reformission." Mark Driscoll is the pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, and as far as I can tell is the one who coined the term.

"Traditional churches have either leaned toward being fundamentalist and separated from culture, which has led to legalism and irrelevance; or they have leaned toward being liberally synchronized with culture, which leads to compromise and irrelevance. Either way, many traditional churches are irrelevant, whether they lean to the Left or the Right theologically and politically. Most contemporary churches are not very theological beyond a few evangelical basics, because they are guided more by pragmatism and programming than theology. At Mars Hill Church, we are driven by Reformed theological convictions and emerging missional methods. I like to say we are theologically conservative and culturally liberal.”
