Abstract

This essay surveys the profusion of church models and images today and in history. I profile a range of models of the church and, relatedly, models of mission, of church-in-mission, and of renewal or revitalization. The aim is to identify models that may help facilitate discussions at the 2010 consultation on revitalization in Edinburgh, Scotland, sponsored by the Center for the Study of World Christian Revitalization Movements. The overview presented here, though selective, gives a vivid sense of the abundance of current ecclesial models. The sources utilized cover a spectrum from popular to academic. The survey draws mainly on sources in English and so should be supplemented by material from other languages and cultural contexts.
