How might our church best relate to other organisations (churches, denominations and parachurches) who are also engaged in the grand cause of reaching the world for Christ?

What is the difference between a church and parachurch and how might they best interact? 

Are para-churches really just crypto-churches? And would we be better off calling them what they really are?   Or do we need to change our patterns of governance and membership to make room for a broader and more diffuse idea of church? 

There are a whole lot of complexities and difficulties wrapped up with how we function togther?
