Recovering a Translatable Church

There are many groups today trying to "design," "produce," even "reinvent" a "postmodern church." But is the idea of a "postmodern church" any better than a "modern church"? Do we really want to start another millennium-and-a-half cycle of culture dominating the church? Trying to be "postmodern" is sure to be self-defeating. We must move beyond postmodern mission and postmodern church. 

So says Jonathan Campbell in an article entitled postmodernism: ripe for a global harvest—
but is the church ready?
 in the Evagelicla Missions Quarterly. This is another article that supports my reticence about the "pomo" church movement.
