Wisdom for Church Planting

Tony writes some more on church planting. There has been an abundance of church planting stuff written the last few days, across several sites. All good. I think Tony and Shane are right that our local situation has more in common with the UK than the US. Why do we look to the US, then? Because they are having missional success. The "Crowded House" is the only bit of good news I can recall hearing from the reformed evangelical guys in the UK recently, and it is still a small movement. By and large, the RefEvs of the UK are looking to us for clues, rather than the other way around.
