Kevin DeYoung muses “should Christians who share many of the most important theological commitments partner across denominational lines for mutual support and collaborative ministry?”

Do Para-Church Organizations Work?

NewTyler,
Tyler,
I think this largely depends on your understanding of the role of the church and your definition of para-church. Personally, I believe a para-church organization has overstepped its role when it begins usurping the role of the church. For instance, in the quote you provided, I would delineate between “mutual support” (that which helps a church accomplish its God-given responsibilities) and “collaborative ministry: (when a non-church entity attempts to do the work assigned to the church).
Why is it that my voice always seems to be loudest when I am saying the dumbest things?
