I know this article was written severla years ago, but nonetheless current. The old ways is our structure and weekly rountines. ( this includes how we measure growth) The new ways are built around relationships that sometimes do not even come the doors. We cannot measure these people as well and they move and shift around like people do with restuarants. I perceive as the church moves forward we may see less smaller churches and more larger churches. The larger ones will likely be the old wineskins whereas the smaller ones will likely become free spirited and moving into lives without as much walls and overhead.
