The editorial linked to below mentions "prophetic" in some form 2 times. I also heard this word being used at synod in various discussions. We had a short discussion on it via the live chat stream, which I found insightful to the wide variety of interpretation of what it means to be "prophetic" in our current culture. So, I'm interested in what others think this might mean.
