Emerging Church

I am going to an Emerging Church day on Monday in Manchester. What is emerging church you ask? It is something that happens (a bit like the fungus that springs up in the woods - but generally more pleasant) because there are people out there being moved by the Holy Spirit to become church rather than to attend church.

For an interesting blog about "ermergent theology for emerging churches" have a read of this article by Dr Ray Anderson.

There is however a certain pretentiousness about parts of the emerging church network (a bit like the fungus that springs up in the woods) especially those parts that blog a lot. However it is good that there is some self awareness about this as the following joke displays: so, How many Emerging Church bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb?
