An apostolic age, especially one now emerging from the ruins of a Christendom culture, needs to be clear about the sources of the church’s strength in the battles she faces. In a mission setting, the Church does not move by majorities. Our problem is that the Church is still in a Christendom mode, either seriously compromised by the ruling vision of the wider culture or using outmoded strategies that were devised for a different context, and so it is unable to cope with the current culture. The task at hand is to find ways successfully to engage members in the Church – and those outside of it – with the truths of the Faith.
