Is a church still a church by any other name?

Hopefully, I'll catch up on my posts soon. In the meantime, check out this discussion in Matthias Media's The Briefing between Tony Payne, Simon Flinders and Steve Timmis. Steve Timmis' new book is the occasion for the dialogue. Entitled Total Church, it's a book which my church planting buddies say is all the craze in the UK and AU.

I look forward to reading the book, but while we wait for a US publisher, read this interchange. It focuses chiefly on what/who is the church, which has all kinds of implications for church practice. I find myself moved by both sides of the debate. If you're in a similar place, take advantage of listening in to these wise brothers' conversation.
