Apr 05 --- From Charlie
Wear: Terry Schaivo dies. The Pope Dies. The emerging church continues
to emerge. We ask ourselves how we can be ambassadors of the Kingdom of
God in a changing world? Our contributors continue to wrestle with
these issues. Enjoy.
Article: Just who is emergent, anyway? by Bob Hyatt
Because the emerging church conversation/movement is a non, pan, cross
and inter-denominational movement, the question arises, how does one
know an "emergent" church? >> more
Article: How I Got Here: One simple/ missional/ emerging leader's journey by Pastor X
I've been asked by many curious acquaintances, friends, and relatives
to explain how I got to this "simple/missional/emerging church thing." >> more
Article: The Emerging Beautiful Mess & the Kingdom of God by Drew Goodmanson Growing up, Church had always been a sanitized place.
It was the one day a week that I dressed up in my ‘Sunday best’ and
shook the hands of adults like we were all congratulating ourselves on
being Christians. I learned the game early on in my life. >> more
Article: What is Emerging Next in Youth Ministry? by Brenda Seefeldt
...Times are changing though. Youth ministry has been around long
enough that it doesn't need mavericks to show the church how to do it.
It has become a hired position for someone to do it so the church
doesn't have to... >> more
Article: The Fallen Powers, pt. 2: Relearning Worship by Len Hjalmarson
To
develop a broader vision we must be willing to forsake, to kill, our

- to stay where we are, to keep using the same microcosmic map, to
avoid suffering the death of cherished notions. >> more

claims from anyone who presumes to be closer to God than someone else... >> more
Rant: Talk, Talk, Talk by Ron McKenzie
As I read the websites and blogs for the emerging church, I am amazed

Article: In-autoero Spirituality: Meeting God in the Car by Jacob Birch
...I recently let myself believe that despite the gridlock on the
highways around the Greater Toronto Area where I live and work, and
despite the spike in the price at the pumps, God is at work in your car
and those cars around you on a regular basis. Let me share with you how
God has worked in the lives of some folks I know while they were in
their cars recently... >> more
From the archives: Matrix: The Postmodern Organization of the Church by Eric Stanford
Over the recent Christmas holiday, I got a chance to chat with my
brother-in-law, Mark, about how things were going with the church he
pastors in the Pacific Northwest. He told me about how he’s
“deprogramming” his church and redirecting the congregation’s energy
