「 起承轉合」思維與 Missional Church (之二)

(1) 引言
-這是探索堂會 「 轉」 做 Missional Church 後, 可以怎樣「合」, 也要配合「羊群」的生命故事 

-相信每個堂會可以有她的份 (獨特的角色、使命) ; 牧者和領袖不能作鴕鳥, 要了解, 甚至要走進世界去實踐使命
-相信神給每一堂會在世界有獨特 的召命 (God's calling) , 不只是傳福音.

(2)「轉」= Shifting the paradigms (範式轉換、心意更新)

遠象、使命
-教牧、領袖的份--(修改) 堂會的使命宣言; 引導羊群內化(internalise) 它; 持續宣講遠象、使命, 要連結到目標; 建立滿有「豐盛生命」的堂會,「分散的群體」(scattered community); ...
-羊群的份-- 接受使命宣言; 如不配合個人的遠象、使命, 可作路向的選擇

熱忱、激勵
-教牧、領袖的份--從神而來的熱忱, 
有平安喜樂; 了解羊群為什麽來堂會; 可能要 let go 一些人(抗行、不配合的)
-羊群的份-- 問自己為什麽來堂會? 她是社區中心、俱樂部? 敬拜所、更新處 、發電站? 治療中心? 訓練中心? .....要心意更新嗎? 自己的熱忱能配合堂會嗎? 需要溝通, 尋找.

強項、恩賜、潛能
-教牧、領袖的份--了解和珍惜堂會內的寶貝. 明白每個人、每條人生路都有不同. 能分辨
組織「 人性化」「以人為本」; 不只是為「搞活 動」、表現業績、企得穩.
-羊群的份--貢獻自己的
來配合堂會. 尋找「百樂」. 羊生命的提升會使堂會的生命提升 .

(3) 「合」= Action Planning, Tracking (行動計劃與追踪)

定位
-教牧、領袖的份--無需要與其他堂會比較, 堂會可以定位 (扮獨特角色) 在一處或幾處--做心靈醫務所? 振興所? 敬拜所? 避難所? 訓練中心? 社福機構? 社會的「看護者」?... 要服侍什麽人? 現在的強項弱項要作什麼?
-羊群的份--要尋找自己的「職召」、「志召」, 寫好生命故事. 可貢獻自己的什麼? 如不能夠配合, 可作路向選擇

領導、策劃
-教牧、領袖的份--"牧者的職責並非裝備信徒如何在教會內過生活, 卻是如何在世界內 彰顯上帝的榮光."..."教牧的角色是導引、教導、賦權神的子民各按其召命、恩賜、學識與技能等,在不同領域內見證上帝的臨在與治權." 從「活動為本」變到「以人為本」; 管理好堂會
(下一次繼續分享這方面)
-羊群的份--如决定投入一些事工、角色, 便要接受領導, 參與策劃. 從「聖俗二分化」變到 7/24 行道, 在事業和人生路做好見證.
