WHAT IS THE EMERGING CHURCH?

Emergent Village vs Emerging Church Emergent Village: Formed in 2001 Throws parties, publishes books through a variety of partnerships and facilitates both the national and local conversations Is critiqued by many as being the more “liberal” portion of the emerging church movement Key voices: Tony Jones (National Coordinator), Brian McLaren (the “Godfather” of Emergent), Doug Pagitt, Karen Ward, Tim Keel, etc.

Emergent Village vs Emerging Church Emerging Church: A broad loosely-connected network of churches - Gibbs/Bolger Catchall term - Jonny Baker Gibbs/Bolger definition: “Emerging churches are communities that practice the way of Jesus within postmodern culture.” (44)

Chapter 2: What is the Emerging Church? Deconstructionists? Dismantling current ideas of what church is. Deconstruction leads to contextualization Is the emerging church generational ministry? Gen-X beginnings Young Leaders Network Terra Nova Theological Project Emergent / Emergent Village

Chapter 2: What is the Emerging Church? Fresh Expressions of Church: Anglican/UK version of emerging church. Doug Pagitt’s typology: Return to Reformation (Mars Hill/Seattle) Deep systemic changes, but Christianity & church are still center (University Baptist/Waco) Focus more on Kingdom than on church (Solomon’s Porch)

Chapter 2: What is the Emerging Church? Adam Walker Cleaveland’s typology: Aesthetically Postmodern: Candles & Coffee Theologically Conservative Methodologically Postmodern: Dialogue-focused, Shared/Communal leadership Theologically Conservative/Moderate Theologically Postmodern: Engaging in new aesthetics & methods, they also engage in new theology, re-thinking everything Theologically Moderate/Liberal

Chapter 2: What is the Emerging Church? Gibbs/Bolger’s Three Core Practices: 1.Identifying with the life of Jesus 2.Transforming Secular Space 3.Living as Community Definition: “Emerging churches are communities that practice the way of Jesus within postmodern cultures.”

Chapter 3: Identifying with Jesus A renewed focus on Jesus & Kingdom Missio Dei Re-thinking the Gospel as the Gospel of the Kingdom Individual --> Communal Sin-Management --> Embodying New Way Salvation --> Participation Jesus was not a church planter: Goal isn’t to start churches (Wicker Park Grace, Hartmans in DC)

How (Not) to Speak of God, by Pete Rollins

“In this way the emerging conversation is demonstrating an ability to stand up and engage in a powerless, space creating discourse that opens up thinking and offers hints rather than orders. In short the emerging community must endeavor to be a question rather than an answer and an aroma rather than food. It must seek to offer an approach that enables the people of God to become the parable, aroma and salt of God in the world, helping to form a space where God can give of God. For too long the church has been seen as an oasis in the desert - offering water to the thirsty.

How (Not) to Speak of God, by Pete Rollins In contrast, the emerging community appears more as a desert in the oasis of life offering silence, space and desolation amidst the sickly nourishment of western capitalism. It is here in this desert as we wander together as nomads, that God is to be found. For it is here that we are nourished by our hunger.”
