The ’emerging’ Church

I came across an interesting article on the CBN website on an incipient trend in evangelical Christendom – a movement called the ‘emerging church’. Prima Facie it appears to be an interesting phenomenon. I intend to investigate it further.

Here is the link.

A primary writing of this movement is a book titled ‘A New Kind of Christian: A Tale of Two Friends on a Spiritual Journey’ by Brian McLaren. Here is the link to his website http://www.brianmclaren.net/

The book documents a conversation about Christianity between two fictional characters: a traditional conservative pastor and a liberal college professor. I plan to read this book over the coming months and will be blogging about my findings and conclusions.
