Over family style plates of spaghetti, linguini, and bottles of Pelligreno a hundred or so pastors chatted up the idea of crossing linguistic, cultural and other barriers that might otherwise prevent a church from reaching its community for Christ.Blocks away from the sterile ballrooms and conference tables of the Indianapolis Conference center, attendees of the 2008 Missional Network Dinner and Panel Discussion were squeezed into a back room at Bucca di Beppo where rubbing elbows and brushing against Roman decor seemed to remind one of what it means to be missional--engaging culture and engaging people.
Exploring the challenges and practicalities of a missional community, pastors Kerry Shook, Brian Bloye, Daniel Floyd, and Shawn Lovejoy offered a brief view into the worlds of churches successfully reaching their communities.
