Emerging Semantics

by bignorm on January 18, 2010

I’ve argued in my latest essay that it is more ecclesiologically accurate today to say “the church emerging”, rather than, “the Emerging Church”? In fact, what is your view on how Christianity is changing/failing/emerging/thriving?

Eddie Gibbs and Ryan Bolger define Emerging Churches as,

“missional communities arising from within postmodern culture and consisting of followers of Jesus who are seeking to be faithful in their place and time.”

If a church is not resembling this definition, can it really be functioning effectively as a Church at all? And if not – why not?
