Mission Critical English

In urban ministry, I have considered Plain English to be mission critical -- or as close as it gets. This would not typically be the case in suburban or rural ministry. To put it another way: I believe that a lack of Plain English may tip the balance against urban ministry -- although the Lord can use anything. The reason for this is the cosmopolitan nature of urban congregations. OBSERVATION: I myself therefore practiced Plain English in a number of ways. See the next post for more.
