Interested in the global church? Or, dissatisfied with the Western church?

I don't have the time to watch this whole video right now, but if the rest of Reggie McNeal's forty-five minute talk is as insightful as the first ten I think it'll be well worth your while.

Sarcastically: "It's growing mostly in house churches because they don't know how to do church right."

"You wouldn't consider that [Pakistan] to be the hotbed of the Christian movement on planet Earth, but there was a meeting of house church leaders on the way from the conference that they had--on the way back to another village they planted six churches on the bus. [laughter] 'I'll take my street.' 'I'll take my street.' 'I'll take'--contrast that with what it takes for us to crank out another church widget, or another worship widget, or another fall program widget."

"In many places of the world there's a Pentecost every single hour. It is A.D. 30 all over again. Now would you like to take a wild guess at where it's not A.D. 30? [laughter]"
