The Shortcomings of the "Attactional" Church

[your.sydneyanglicans.net] 1 May 2008--In almost every book I have read on church growth over the last decade the same model of what we are trying to do underlies the practice. The model proposes that there are people in the world who have rejected or never heard the gospel and they are left all alone and without hope because those with the gospel are cloistered in churches, unable or unwilling to reach the lost. These books call us to move out of our safe cloisters and draw people from the world into our churches.
