i've been thinking for quite some time about the nature of blogging. particularly, what would a missional blog look like? would it look like a blog where people dialogue about being missional? i know blogs like this have been most beneficial to my renewed way of thinking (smulospace, blindbeggar). these blogs have been extremely helpful for my growth and the growth of so many others.
however, i'm not certain that blogs which draw mainly christians are truly...missional in nature. while they help to change us as we dialogue with others...most of the 'others' are jesus followers already. do you follow me here? so a few questions for this conversation...
1. what would a missional blog look like that actually was 'among the people' of the blogging community?
2. would it even be described as missional anywhere on the blog itself?
3. can a blog be missional in nature?
4. if you have posted already on this topic, could you direct me to your posts?
(please note that this is in NO WAY a critique of the incredible missional blogging community, but a genuine question actually brought about and formed by the thought provoking conversations happening in said community)

Thanks. I like your four questions.
Maybe there's different missions directed to different audiences. Some may lean more in the direction of those who already believe and others lean more in the direction of those who don't. Seems like there is a fair amout of flexibility within the horizon of mission.
