Hee hee Johnny- that is indeed the game- choose a word, and make it a big word (MISSIONAL) and then find a whole lot of other words to try to define what the first word means.
Great isn’t it?!
I suppose I am still waiting to see if these conversations get us anywhere- whether the ideas contained within them will have a real practical purpose.
I’m with you there- and am well aware of the Mike Frost connection (thanks to you i think), but will check out Pernell Goodyear (who i am guessing is not from Yorkshire with a name like that!)
I suppose the other issue is context context context. The Missional tribe stuff seems still to arise in a largely US based context, where the ‘Christian’ industry that supports such initiatives has such huge resources.
It ain’t like that here, is it?
And although people are people no matter where they live, they are at the same time- different.
this fragile tent 
….possibly too many words in this dialog! ;-)))
