Thoughts on "Emerging"

As an aside, you probably already know that you can find "Emerging Church" in wikipedia and answers.com.

You may also know that many mainline denominations have Emerging constituencies.

Here is some interesting dialogue between Emerging and non. My reason for putting it here is that, if you're still reading and exploring this particular line of thinking, you'll find some readings from both sides. There may be better sources but this group, though given to discerning Biblical error, seems to be more gracious than some. They're touching the realm of thoughts and ideas - the place where most spiritual battles are won and lost and a place where few people spend any significant amout of time.

It's hard when you have people on different "sides" both saying things that are true but still not agreeing. Maybe it comes with the blessing of freedom, I don't know. If you take the things that are true from both and put them into a new box...it would be interesting, wouldn't it? I suppose it might look alot like the old box.

What we teach our children about true, not true, relative and not . . . We teach by example, through our conversations, our choices and actions, ideas and actions that we allow and those we don't...

I only say this because the concept of Absolute is controversial. Maybe it's always been controversial.

What do you do with it?
