Attractional Church vs. Missional Church?

Here is a quote for you if your wondering what the difference is:

“The missional church goes back to the life of Jesus. It submerges itself into the culture it is reaching. He did not construct a building or start a service. Rather he walked among the poor and hurt and lost. He incarnated himself. He became flesh; God came down from heaven and lived among us. He was born poor and grew up in a despised town called Nazareth. He had a questionable birth and in all likeliness lost his earthly father at an early age. He became close friends of sinners and was accused of being a glutton and a drunkard. (Luke 8:34)”

Attractional of course would represent some of the opposite – ‘we need to get more seats or we’ll lose them – if we lose them, there go our salaries!’, ‘what’s the latest music to attact kids?’, ‘quiet down back there you (visitors), we are tapping this service and we’ll have none of those shenanigans!’ (actually heard of a story like this last example!).

The quote is an excerpt from http://jmm.aaa.net.au/articles/567.htm and the ‘Characteristics of Missional Church’ I think Attractional Church has served its purpose but now the culture and the state of the Church demands we live out our true calling  as the people of God in a fresh way that speaks & listens to the culture. We have a lot of unlearning, new learning and appreciation for tradition to explore. We don’t have it figured out but we are trying to be faithful to what the Spirit is saying to Mosaic….
