Introduction In his book, Browning makes a deliberate attempt to cover the definition of churches by design and constitution. [1] He postulates that there are big churches and small churches all through the world. He also talks about a ‘hybrid’ formed from these two opposites. According to Cole, having a global church is no longer a problem since most countries use English as their medium of communication and because the world is now connected by the internet. [2] This paper critically summarizes Browning’s ideas of micro and mega churches as well as his concepts of ‘intimacy and impact.’ Intimacy and Impact There are various values as far as church ministry is concerned. In most cases, these values are depicted in a bipolar scenario where intimacy lies on one hand and impact on the other. Consequently, most churches are essentially pulled towards one of the extremes. Churches that stress on values such as communal association, sense of belonging, and unity are in most cases drawn towards intimacy. On the contrary, those churches that lay emphasis on outreach programs and missionary work are pulled towards impact. A ministry or a church needs to first of all understand where it lies as far as these aspects are concerned before making an effort to stretch towards the other pole. The Hybrid Church Currently, hybrid is a term used in many scenarios. According to Baker, the hybrid forms represent the bringing together of two or more elements without changing the status quo. [3] The formation of such a hybrid is geared towards the goal of creating the best outcome possible. It is designed by bringing together two distinct components of different units to perform a specific role. Therefore, it is the fusion of two unique, but equally important elements to bring out a superior and efficient outcome. The ‘hybrid church’ gives us a new terminology to use when discussing the merits and demerits of small and big church ministries. This is very important since it affords us the advantage of having blends in values from both extremes. The hybrid allows us to have the important value of unity associated with intimacy without losing out on growth and impact. It provides a combination of that which is big and powerful, blended seamlessly with intimacy and detail. If permitted, most churches prefer to have intimacy and impact. Unfortunately, in most church scenarios they are only allowed to choose one or the other. This is where a delicate hybrid is needed. Possibility of the Hybrid Church Many people are not comfortable with the word ‘hybrid’ and see it as conveying an unholy combination of truth and falsehood. Despite this, a hybrid church is not an effort to merge one aspect of theological truth or fact with another less plausible philosophy in an attempt to form a fresh and more enhanced doctrine. Instead, it can be said to be a deliberate attempt to draw the true Christian church back into consistency with the view of the apostolic church as expressed in the Bible. In the modern day American culture, two extremes can be found in almost every situation. According to Lunn, “the different contributions of two of the models will each develop the positive and negative aspects of the ambivalent, hybrid situation.” [4] I
