A couple of posts recently caught my attention.
"as a person of color I'm growing concerned about the emerging (postmodern) church…. i feel that though i am seen as a brother, our worlds don't connect. it's as if i were from another planet. .."
The second regarding women can 'GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS'. Has drawn quite some debate. Maggi Dawn comments “ Whether 'Emergent' is 'emerging' for the sake of the Calling of God, or whether it's merely an obsession with all that is cool, hip and postmodern, for Heaven's sake (and earth's too) it needs to catch up with the rest of the world before it makes itself look like a complete idiot.”
From our perspective I find it hard to see many of the people that call us family and church fitting into or being able to engage with any kind of emerging designer set up . These people are not designer people. The relevance they seek is unconditional love.
When a debate is parochial people on the margins are left out. Leaving an unhealthy one-dimensional church. From a mission perspective within the emerging debate I still don’t see the “whosoever” in practice – I hope I am wrong.
