What does it take to do Living System Ministry?
Leave pliers & screwdriver behind…
We may need a New Brain --
-- To think in terms of LIFE, not MACHINES!
Emmanuel Gospel Center 2011
- so that God’s living Truth can tell
us what to do!

Living System Ministry Has Always Existed In Cat Cultures
& with each other
through relational social dynamics.
CAT cultures learned to survive by ALIGNING with
the living system creation,

4 Things Happened To ChristianityIn Relational Cat Cultures
Major REVIVALS always occur in relational CAT
cultures.
In one generation, it became a WORLD -- not a western --
religion!
It is GROWING in the CAT cultures of the GLOBAL SOUTH.
Emmanuel Gospel Center 2011
It became the LARGEST religion in the world.
![Page 7: Part 2: Introduction to Living System Ministry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070423/56816668550346895dd9ff0a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A New Toaster Culture Has Exploded
From TECHNOLOGICAL
developments begun in the
Industrial Revolution.
Emmanuel Gospel Center 2011
& is becoming
increasingly GLOBAL.
It is more IMPERSONAL &
INDIVIDUALISTIC
![Page 8: Part 2: Introduction to Living System Ministry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070423/56816668550346895dd9ff0a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Its Toaster Activities Produce Counterproductive Returns
1) I see a need.
2) I make a plan to meet the need.
3) I do the plan.
4) I get returns.
5) Unintended negative returns are ignored.
6) I therefore do nothing else to meet the need.

Overcoming The Law of Unintended Negative Returns
Sincere, logical activity yields positive short-term returns, but
Unintended negative returns in the total system over the long term.
But – aligning with the LIVING SYSTEM can yield positive multiple long-term returns!.

This New Toaster Culture Is Empowered But Not Aligned
FEEDING STARVING PEOPLE PRODUCES MORE STARVATION
Emmanuel Gospel Center 2011
WEALTHY CHRISTIANITY DECLINES OVER THELONG TERM (Europe…)
THE CRIMINAL vs. THE COUNTER-
PRODUCTIVE DO-GOODER (who’s creating more problems?)

This New Empowered But Unaligned Toaster Culture Has Some Basic Problems
DICHOTOMIZED SCIENCESnot learn from
each other or interact with FAITH
A non-aligned Fortune 500 Company can go OUT OF BUSINESS
KNOWING, NOT DOING
Emmanuel Gospel Center 2011
ECOLOGY:Global warming

Then, Our New Toaster Culture Can Also Experience Spiritual Vitality!
Its believers can be part of the LARGEST religion in the world.
It, too, can experience REVIVALS
It can join global Christian believers in a WORLD -- not a
western -- religion!
Christianity can GROW in the new GLOBAL TOASTER culture.

Discussion Questions
Do you see the culture of your city as more of a “cat” culture (one large organic system), or more of a “toaster” culture (with many parts, mechanistically operated)? Can the two exist together? What are the implications for ministry in either case?
How is Living System Ministry different than approaches in your city? What elements of Living System Ministry seem most useful?
What is your main takeaway from the discussion of Boston, the Quiet Revival, and Living System Ministry? Are there concepts, ideas, or questions that will be helpful to you in your city or your work?
