A Perspective:
Confused about the word: "Missional?" Will Mancini writes in his book Church Unique, "What does [being missional] mean? Essentially, it is a way of thinking that challenges the church to re-form and reforge its self-understanding (theologially, spiritually, and socially) so that it can relearn how to live and proclaim the gospel in the world. Perhaps the best motto of this reorientation is the imperative to 'be the church.' Church is not something you do or a place you go to, but what you are."
