sacred text of the blessed new testament, every
idea I ever had

proclamational friendship-focussed
lifestyle-centred church-planting and
community-enriching creationalism in an
homogenous, networked, emergent, viral,
postmodern, missional context with a canonical,
traditional, heterodoxical orthodoxy encouraging
social integrationist liberational action
exploring the dichotomy between conflictual
consensus within a grace-filled, truth-centred
radical hermeneutic of acceptance and suspicion
infused with elements of an alpha-orientated
beta-motivated gamma-ness that is
quintessentially incarnationalised

Hebrews 1
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us
by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all
things, by whom also he made the worlds who
being the brightness of his glory, and the
express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
hand of the Majesty on high

Mission is Individual, national, for the poor,
universal, cross-culturally monocultural,
creational, redemptive, liberational, healing,
salvific, social, political, socialising,
community-centred, educational, confrontational,
passionate, miraculous, active, peripatetic,
locational, spirit-driven, common-sensically
intuitive, traditional, iconoclastic
