Emerging Churches
To come out from something else… Recently I’ve been reading through Emerging Churches: creating Christian community in postmodern cultures, by Eddie Gibbs and Ryan K. Bolger (both are professors at Fuller Seminary.) I must admit they really captured an honest and accurate picture of Emerging/Emergent churches. Chapters include:
- Identifying with Jesus
- Transforming Secular Space
- Living as a Community
- Welcoming the Stranger
- Serving with Generosity
- Participating as Producers
- Creating as Created Beings
- Leading as a Body
- Merging Ancient and Contemporary Spiritualities
Along with two excellent appendix(s): (A) Leaders in Their Own Words were different leaders who align themselves with emergent give their thoughts, and (B) Research Methodology.

Check out my site, I try to update atleast once a day. I am currently putting in chapters from Genesis. As I read through the Bible, I put the chapter I read on my site. Except on Sundays, then I put in Epistle readings, Gospel readings, and Old Testament readings. Hope you will read my blog each day, and read the Bible along with me.
God Bless,

I wish I had too much time on my hands.
Yes, I am, in fact, still very much alive. I am in the middle of my semester of student teaching, so it’s been quite the journey. It’s been alright so far. How’s life for you??
P.S. Our campus pastor taught a sermon about the talmid of Yeshua at the beginning of the school year. I was excited to see it on your page here!
