Strategic Planning and Christian Mission in the Postmodern World
Abstract
Postmodernism is a worldview culture entering the society lately. It provides the impression of values such as spirituality, pluralism, relativism, and altruism, which causes significant shifts. It consists of the decline in religious spirituality, disorientation from pluralism, the power to provide information through visuals due to blurred reality and imagination, the emptiness at the core of culture, and a shift in power to a newer state. The Church needs to capture and understand how Culture works. It required reaching a cultural paradigm with the gospel message as well as challenges presently faced by the Church through thorough and exhaustive strategic planning. The paper concluded by recommending that the Church should be unafraid to make truth claims, even when those claims may offend a pluralistic, relativistic culture.
