J.I. Packer on "missional ecumenism"

John Armstrong’s book on missional ecumenism is called Your Church is too Small. Discussion about his book is one of the best places to start to understand the reaction to missional ecumenism. This website tracks what a number of different bloggers are saying about the book.

The one and only J.I. Packer’s foreword to the book can be read here. Packer sees Armstrong as one who

views the visible church as a single worldwide, Spirit-sustained community within which ongoing doctrinal and denominational divisions, though important, are secondary rather than primary. In this vision, the primary thing is the missional-ecumenical vocation and trajectory crystallized for us by our Lord Jesus Christ in his teaching and prayer and illustrated in a normative way by the Acts narrative and much of the reasoning of the apostolic letters.
