My emerging journey

My friends (see the Blogs of our Lives on the right) and I have formed a house church, or simple church if you prefer. This is a radical departure from church as I know it, and a 180 degree flip from most of my ministerial training.

So I am starting an in-depth search of what church is becoming in what is called the "emerging" or "Emergent Church" movements. Some of the big names that have weighed in are people like Brian McLaren (his book A Generous Orthodoxy has generated alot of buzz), George Barna, and others.

I have caught myself wanting to constantly link over to several blogs that I am finding to be very helpful in my search, but I don't want to get redundant in the link posting. So I have a link list to the right called the "faith/emergent conversation", listing several blogs I am regularly reading. They are all worth checking out, but I especially would like to mention Jason Clark's blog, it has been very informative and clear.

More on this as it develops....
