Both pastors and executive directors objected to calling non-denominational ministries \u201c<em>para<\/em>church\u201d because <em>para<\/em> means <em>alongside<\/em> (hence <em>outside<\/em>). They see unaffiliated ministry as the body of Christ at work. We need a better way to refer to these ministries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some Proposals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a title=\"Jerry White's bio\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jerry_White_(Navigators)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerry White <\/a>proposed the more precise term <em>para-local church<\/em> back in <a title=\"Jerry's book\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Church-Parachurch-Uneasy-Marriage\/dp\/0880700181\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1246302087&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1983<\/a>. &nbsp;<a title=\"Stackhouse's blog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.johnstackhouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Stackhouse<\/a> used <em>paracongregational<\/em> when he spoke at a theological forum&nbsp;I arranged a few years ago to discuss church-parachurch relations.&nbsp;<a title=\"Costas bio\" href=\"http:\/\/missionallyminded.wordpress.com\/2012\/05\/19\/orlando-costas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orlando Costas<\/a>&nbsp;likewise used the term <em>para-ecclesiastical<\/em> in his <a title=\"Orlando's book\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/church-its-mission-shattering-critique\/dp\/0842302751\/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1246303271&amp;sr=8-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">book<\/a>. I understand their logic, but I do not think it is healthy to define something in terms of what it is not. It is much healthier to define it in terms of what it is. And the problem remains that a parachurch\u2019s staff members are part of the congregations that the parachurch is supposedly standing beside. Furthermore, \u201cbeside\u201d does not make sense at all if <em>church<\/em> refers to the universal church (that is, all&nbsp;Christians)<em>,<\/em> since parachurch workers cannot stand beside themselves. I think we can do better than these terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Agency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After several years of thought on church-parachurch relations&nbsp;(writing my dissertation), <em>agency<\/em> appears to be the best one-word term to describe parachurch organizations. Agency conveys the idea of doing a task on behalf of someone else, and this is what parachurches do. On one level, they work on behalf of churches, denominations and\/or the universal church to help get the church&#8217;s mission done. On another level, since each parachurch worker is an agent of God\u2019s, they are working on behalf of God too. If the workers are agents, then the&nbsp;organizational structure they work within can be called an agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using&nbsp;this terminology, we would&nbsp;refer to Christian churches and agencies. We could also call them unaffiliated agencies, self-governing agencies or non-denominational agencies if we wanted to emphasize a particular aspect of their governance structure.&nbsp;<em>Agency<\/em> avoids the baggage that <em>parachurch<\/em> has accumulated over the years and is a neutral term that makes no judgment about relative priority or value&nbsp;between these organizations and local churches.&nbsp;<em>Agency<\/em> is simply a descriptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve thought about other terms, but to keep the term short, sweet and simple, I haven&#8217;t thought of anything better than agency. So, what do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to call Christian ministries that are not local churches. <a href=\"https:\/\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/john\/2009\/07\/27\/a-rose-by-any-other-name\/\" class=\"linkbutton\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30875,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ts_fic_featured_image_caption":"A single red rose against a black background.
