Seems to me there's a big difference between being in a sub-culture and trying to be a sub-culture. Most sub-cultures exist simply because of affinity. The sub-cultures that are based on being iconoclastic (Goths, for example) are more successful at driving people away than they are at building their community. I think when we as Christians define ourselves primarily on what we're against, we drive people away rather than attract people to Christ. Not very missional.

Hi, Jerry--

Thanks for the tip. For everyone else, I think the post he's referring to is this one: http://blindbeggar.org/?p=315 and the whole blog seems to be good stuff too.

And to his credit, Jerry wasn't promoting himself, but he's got good stuff as well at this blog: http://becomingmissional.blogspot.com/

Once again, thanks Jerry!
