Think of it as an article about how we do Church, but it also serves as a great introduction the the term "Emergent".
A blip:"Whatever else Emergent may be, it is a movement committed to encouraging the lively pursuit of God and to inviting others into a delightfully terrifying conversation along the way."
An excerpt that will hopefully entice you to read the whole thing: On second thought, text pasted from the pdf has all sorts of awkward line breaks, so I guess you should just read it for yourself.
I like the idea of always "emerging." There's always more and more of God to grow in. Shouldn't the church be growing as well? Having a static church seems like it would be moving backwards.
