MISSIONAL: IMPOSSIBLE! the death of institutional christianity and the rebirth of G-d : Domination Christianity: mission mishaped church

Missional: Impossible Vol. 1. The Management Mishaped Mission.
There are several streams of mission attempting to reverse Christianity’s decline in the United Kingdom, Europe and the USA.

DOMINATION CHRISTIANITY considers the way practices of hierarchical bureaucracy and management have perpetuated decline in mainline Christian institutional churches. Mainline mission practices aim to increase denominational membership by inviting people to services and stage managed worship and preaching events. In the United Kingdom the Mission Shaped Church is a stream within mainline Christianity that is attempting to reverse decline through creating churches around the needs of the unchurched. Frustratingly all mission initiative is enmeshed in in centralised finance and management structures. Therefore Church law, policy, regulation and financial priorities control and curb innovation and growth. Mission Shaped Church has been formalised as the term Fresh Expressions. It includes initiatives by the Church of England, The Methodist Church, The United Reformed Church, the Congregational Federation and Ground Level Network.
