Missional Ministry: Crossing to the Other Side of the Street

Leonard Sweet shares an interesting story in the introduction to Neil Cole’s book, Organic Church, about a parish pastor who lived in a Scottish village near Edinburgh called Davidson’s Mains.

The minister was walking through his parish when he heard two kids call out, “Hey, mister, would you stop being a minister long enough to give us a hand?” Jerry crossed the street to find their bike chain broken.
