Emerging Church Death?

2010 January 8

So at the moment, I’m really not feeling the need to explain why the emerging church isn’t over just because a few more people want to take their ball and go play elsewhere. As my husband has pointed out, we’re not actually really going to let you guys leave anyway, but keep inviting ourselves to your parties and wanting to dialogue and learn from you.

That said (and I know I’m a few days behind here), Danielle Shroyer’s post What Do You Do When A Revolution Isn’t Sexy Anymore is a must read. She really captures the day to day work most of us are doing to help make following Jesus not just relevant and meaningful, but possible in today’s culture. Thank you Danielle.

    Wow. Thank you, Julie and Danielle. I needed to hear these things.

    I don’t see myself as part of the “Emerging Church” becasue I’m not emerging from or into anywhere that people who see themselves as “emerging church” are coming from or going to. So if they see themselves as going somewhere else, that’s OK too. But I have enjoyed participating in the “emergin g conversation”, and would be sorry if that disappeared.

    Now I’ll go and read the thing you linked to.
