Driscoll in Australia

August 21, 2008

Driscoll had a fascinating and substantial video interview with the Sydney Anglicans which I just had to draw to your attention.
Intriguingly they are happy to describe him as “Apostle to the generation wired“!
The fact that he can be well received by both Newfrontiers and the Sydney Anglicans says a lot about the ministry [...]

Ed Stetzer on Modern Day "apostles"

August 1, 2008

Ed Stetzer has a great post discussing the concept of apostolic work today. He has some great links many of which would on first glance describe a view very similar to that which I hold. There almost seems to be a consensus emerging that recognises the need for some kind of apostolic role [...]

VIDEO – Ed Stetzer Interview – Is Missional and Apostolic the Same Thing?
