Emerging Church Discussion

09Apr07

I hear we are getting together this week and I am leading a discussion on the emerging church. 

To prep I suggest you read the article, Five Streams of the Emerging Church by Scott McKnight in the Feb. 07 edition of Christianity Today magazine.  This movement is broader than the Mississippi river and much harder to spell, but is having a great amount of influence across denominational lines.  It would also be good to do some prep work on what the word “missional” is all about.  This is the one term that all emerging types use, but its application can be very different from church to church.

I will be framing the discussion in three parts:

1) What is the emerging church movement?

2) What are the implications for the local church?

3) The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of the Emerging Movement.

 See you on Wednesday!
