Description
Summary:A church consisting of believers coming out of a Muslim background must be contextualized into the local Islamic context. This contextualization must reach deeper than simply adapted worship forms; it must touch emotional, psychological, and theological levels of worldview. The needs of believers must be met by the church in this context of Muslim culture. The church must worship, express community, and witness to the kingdom of God in a Muslim context. This article presents one such vision and model. This model attempts to take with equal seriousness both gospel and culture. As indicated by the word vision, this article represents beginning rather than finality.
