‘But when we are in the context of mission (or post-Christendom),
what we are saying no longer makes sense to people
who are not Christians. Beliefs, when separated from
practices, have over time become rote for Christians. The way
they are articulated loses touch with real life because they have
not been enfleshed in daily living. This is why, when renewing
the church (or planting it over again) in mission, the church
must refocus on cultivating the practices of Jesus among
a people. Beliefs cannot make sense to people outside the church
without seeing the belief lived in practice.‘
-David Fitch (What is the Church?)
