Evangelism methodology  
Evangelism should not be about forcing or stuffing Christianity down people's lives, but to draw them to God.  In our search for God, how we search can highly influence the resulting point.  In fact, the chosen methodology can determine the outcome.

We need to redefine church, much like the comments in Desiring God (www.DesiringGod.Org):  people see it as an institution, an organization, rather than an organism.  We need to make it grassroots again, make it a community.

A community enables a system of give and take.  It does not constraint people to do a series of things (dogma), but offers the freedom of expression and self giving.

For example, an organization aims for concensus building, so that everyone agrees with the main agenda.  This indicates the end rather than the beginning.  In contrast, a vibrant community is defined by differences, new ideas, new approaches, rather than aiming for agreement with each other.

As a separate note, if the church aims mainly to bring God's kingdom to Earth, that would be a deadend.
