Alan Hirsch wrote The Forgotten Ways. His talk in the main session was challenging and very entertaining. The highlights:
- Organizations exert a certain pressure on us to conform. Sometimes to wake up out of the mesmerizing effect we have to get kicked in the butt.
- It is Christology that lies at the heart of the renewal of the church.
- If we don't go back to Jesus, what are we doing? We get so busy with the stuff of the church that we can forget all about Jesus.
- You know that Jesus is like you when He hates the people that you hate.
- The embodiment of the faith is critical to transmission.
- We disciple in the context of consumerism, which is the overwhelming alternative religion of the day. It is the state religion.
- What we need are missionally responsive, culturally adaptive, organizationally agile, multiplication movements.
- Every believer a church planter, every church a church planting church.
- God sent and went to make a difference. We must be a sending people.
