Church models

I'm not sure I entirely understood this one, but the questions were quite interesting - albeit geared towards traditional liturgical churches and including questions about hymns which I mostly hadn't heard of. I guess the result sounds about right, although when I did this one before it gave me 'Herald' as my top model. Now it's top equal and there was a tie-break question. So I suppose I see it as mystical communion AND herald, which sounds about right. Like postmodern/emergent AND holiness/Wesleyan, on the one below about styles of worship.


You scored as Mystical Communion Model. Your model of the church is Mystical Communion, which includes both People of God and Body of Christ. The church is essentially people in union with Christ and the Father through the Holy Spirit. Both lay people and clergy are drawn together in a family of faith. This model can exalt the church beyond what is appropriate, but can be supplemented with other models.
