Mike Warren and I have written two new essays critiquing the organic church movement. The focus of my essay is to review the biblical concept of the church against the backdrop of popular organic resources and theology. I appraise healthy church life and community in light of organic principles. I ask the question, "Is "reimagining church" a good thing?" The essay attempts to give kudos where kudos are due, but challenge other organic assumptions. You make the call. (

Mike's essay is admittedly more scholarly, approaching the organic church movement from more of a theological and historical standpoint. It will challenge many core organic assumptions while praising the missional efforts of the movement. (
