Title of Paper: r

Options

Select one of the following three options for your paper.

Option 1: Art and Artifact

Select a work of art or a cultural artifact that expresses the mythology of its culture. You will find thousands of possibilities on museum websites, as many are developing or enhancing their digital collections. For example:

• allows you to walk through museums and has great curated collections

In your paper, include at least one image of the artwork you chose but dont count the image toward your page count! (See Requirements below.)

Your assignment is to spend no more than 2-pg summarizing the myth that this artwork or artifact engages, and then using the remaining 8 pages to analyze the art and story using some of the approaches and lines of inquiry we discussed in class. It will be helpful to choose a theme: the portrayal of the Hero and/or Trickster, the virtues or vices that underlie the story and how the artist conveys them, the artists use of symbols to tell the story without words, etc. Let your artwork/artifact of choice be your guide.

Reply from Kwame Paige

What do you see as one of the most important paradigms needed to advance the Kingdom in the 21st century?

One particular paradigm shift that I believe is very important in advancing the kingdom in the 21st century is building and growing holistic small groups. According to Natural Church Development, holistic small groups are disciple-making groups that focus on reaching the unchurched, meeting the needs of people, and raising them up in their God-given purpose (1). These types of groups are not to be communities of people that simply come together to fellowship; these groups have the intention to grow and multiply (2). In Genesis 1:28, the Lord gives man its first command to be fruitful and to multiply, not for Adam and Eve to simply sit and enjoy each others presence. In Reggie McNeal’s Missional Renaissance book, the missional church is an expression of God’s heart and serves as a continuation of the mission of God to save the world (3). McNeal says that because God is on a mission, His people must be a part of that mission as well (4).

Small groups are the best way to see the church from a microscopic level, where members cannot hide on a Sunday service pretending to be fulfilling the mission to go and make disciples of all nations. Holistic small groups position disciples to practice what is being preached in communities where spiritual interactions can happen (5).

How, if any, has your view of the church and leadership in the church expanded as a result of this course?

The best lesson that I learned from the course mostly comes from the Autopsy of a Deceased Church book that we read. In this book, I was able to truly see how small deviations from the church’s mission, which is to make disciples of the nations, can lead a church to death. According to Natural Church Development, the most important criterion for forms and structures in a church is that they submit to the mission of the church (6). Constant checks and balances are needed to be aware of the slight deviations from the mission as times move forward and the ministry gets busier. As McNeal says, God’s mission is to redeem what sin has damaged, so coming up with the latest trendy sermon series is not necessarily the most important priority and often doesn’t meaningfully connect to the mission (7).

Reply from Michael Boyle

Good day, all! After reading this week’s scheduled reading, Im forced to look further up as our redemption draws nearer than when we first started this semester (Luke 21:28). The summary of Schwarz’s Natural Church Development (NCD) really changed my perspective when reading page 4. This all by itself principle really sums up so much; it allows my soul to be refreshed and at peace (CoachNet, 4). This would have to be the most important paradigm it is knowing that our Father has it all under control. It allows me to focus on Him and what He may or may not have for me to do. It allows me to focus on what I believe to be my life verse, Be still and know that I am God, and goes hand in hand with it (Psalm 46:10). I believe that all of the other aspects are important and everything we have learned from Hirsch, Cole, McNeal and Scazzero are important, especially the Ephesians 4 principles and being missional. Just like Martha had to recognize her busy work wasnt as important as Martha sitting at His feet, I need to learn the same thing (Luke 10:41-42). If Im not sitting at His feet first, I cant even recognize all that has already been done.

This semester provided me a way to continually be upward focused. It is only in this upward (supernatural) focus that Im able to do the work set out for me. It is more important to make sure I completely understand our Father’s vision before going off half-cocked, thinking I know what my mission is. I only have a mission if I have been sent and I can only be sent if I hear from our Father. I thought I had slowed down, but it may not have been slow enough. When Moses went off half-cocked, he killed an Egyptian thinking he knew what he was doing (Exodus 2:11-13). I do the same thing, and I would rather spend my 40 years in the desert, prepared even if it is for a single soul. What do you think? Enjoy your day with Jesus!

Thanks,

Michael Boyle
