A Spiritual Youth Camp as Expression of Church Missional Ecclesiology

摘要

This report emphasizes that the purpose and functions of the church are open to degrees of speculation and this speculation is further broadened when one reflects on a meaningful missional nature and vocation for the church.    As such, I have reflected upon my own missional ecclesiology and concluded that a domain worthy of focus centers on residential youth camping experiences.  I see these experiences as providing unique environments for spiritual growth.   This report will offer illustration of such a camp that I have participated with.  My thesis statement stresses that a spiritual youth camp can serve as an expression of church missional ecclesiology.    My participation has allowed me to observe relevant camp dynamics that help to frame the aforenoted experience.
