The document discusses the need to rethink the traditional church (church A) and embrace a missional church (church B) approach. It suggests church A can only reach 40% of people, but 95% of churches are church A. This means most people are not being reached. Church B is described as missional, contextual, and incarnational. It emphasizes the need for both church A and church B to coexist and work together to reach more people with the gospel.
