  A Conversation with Alan Hirsch
  ...
  Alan Hirsch is the founding director of Forge; an innovative Mission Training Agency dedicated to the identification, development and nurture of missional leaders, and to the cultivation of missional communities in Australia and beyond.
  
  Hirsch's current role in the network is as national director and coordinator.He lives in community in St Kilda (Australia) with Debra and others.He is co-author of The Shaping of Things to Come and The Forgotten Ways, dreamer, mission strategist, and local missionary.His experience in leadership includes leading a local church movement among the marginalized as well as heading up the Mission and Revitalization work of his denomination, the Church of Christ.He is adjunct professor at Fuller Seminary and lectures frequently throughout Australia.Alan and Debra are relocating to the United States until about 2010 to help develop leadership training systems as well as to begin a doctorate in mission and theology at Fuller.
  
  Fred Peatross spoke with Hirsch about his latest and perhaps most important book, The Forgotten Ways.
  ...
  Fred: Alan, I appreciate you taking time from your schedule to share with the readers of New Wineskins.
  ...
  Alan Hirsch: Well, in some ways, I stumbled upon the Churches of Christ (not the Boston group thankfully!).
  ...
  Alan Hirsch: I think the use of the term attractional is a tad ambiguous, but because I am partly responsible for introducing it into the broader conversation I have to stick with it.
  ...
  Alan Hirsch: Fred, you want to get me into trouble here!
  ...
  Alan Hirsch:I think in the West these are absolutely vital to our mission.
  ...
  Alan Hirsch: Quite simply because when you adopt an missional-incarnational approach to engaging our world, then you are forced to a go-to-them, hang-out-with-them approach to mission before you ever get to ask the question, "What is church for this people group?" The problem is that we usually frontload our idea of church into the missional equation. And while the reality of the Church as God's community is a vital, non-negotiable, part of the Christian faith, the forms that the church must take are almost entirely to be guided by the cultural context of the church. If this were not the case, the Paul's argument in Galatians is flawed and we all should be adopting Jewish forms of church, including circumcision! Ouch! The church follows mission and not the other way around.

  The first is to (belatedly) let anyone who didn't already realise know that Hamo (the National Director of Forge now that Alan Hirsch has taken off for the US) has picked his blogging back up again, and has got already been putting out some amazingly good content.He can be found over at Backyard Missionary (www.backyardmissionary.com) and quite frankly, if you're here for intelligent theological and practical missional discussion, go there first - he does it much better.

  Shapevine.com, founded by Alan Hirsch and Lance Ford, leads the missional conversation, and has partnered with Christianity Today International to distribute world-changing ideas to a wider audience, so they can be better understood and engaged.
  ...
  Hirsch, author of The Forgotten Ways, says, "I believe that the most significant thing for the church in the dawn of the 21st century is engaging the ideas surrounding the missional church, and in fact, they provide the kind of matrix out of which the church of the future will be born."
  
  He explains that "missional" is simply a group, whether it be a large church or a small group of Christians, that organizes around the mission of God, not only inside the church walls, but out in the world.
  ...
  Alan Hirsch says, "Christianity Today International is an important and significant communications ministry that globally brings together a common voice for evangelicals. We're proud to be partnering with them to expand these missional ideas."
  
  He adds, "When about 16 percent of any given population crosses the line to adopt an idea, that idea becomes pervasive.

  Church Leadership Book Interview: Alan Hirsch
  ...
  Alan Hirsch and Michael Frost have written a new book, Rejesus: A Wild Messiah for a Missional Church, in which they call the church to "reconfigure itself," and "recalibrate its mission, around the example and teaching of the radical rabbi from Nazareth."
  ...
  Alan is a good friend and I am grateful he took the time to answer some questions here and come around the blog today to interact.
  ...
  But, when I read the book I wanted to ask something that is both a question and a compliment-- the Jesus you described looked a lot like you, Alan-- a wandering teacher calling for change, a wild man with a powerful message, focused on the Kingdom of God, and with a Hebrew worldview.
  ...
  Alan will be around today to dialogue about the book.
