It has been great to spend time with Tom and Christine Sine while they have been in Melbourne over the past week. Their consistent call to unpack the cultural influence on our understanding of the gospel so that our discipleship reflects kingdom values at the core, rather than Western materialism with a spiritual overlay, is an abiding prophetic word in the West. Since the initial publication of The Mustard Seed conspiracy in the 1970s theirs has been a voice in the wilderness against the continual sublimation of the radical discipleship call of Jesus to the American Dream.
Tom and Christine were in Melbourne for the Forge conference held on the weekend, as they sought to encourage the younger generation who are seeking to reimagine church beyond the traditional denominational paradigms. They were greatly encouraged by the breadth of commitment and work being undertaken by Australian christians to engage in radical gospel mission.
Tom is currently working on a rewrite of The Mustard Seed Conspiracy, updating it for the new challenges of the new millennium. He'd be happy to hear your responses and any stories you might like to share about what God is doing at the creative edge of church today.
