S3K Emergent Final Thoughts

Here are a few pictures taken at the event --

Just a few final musings -- with emergent synagogues and emerging churches moving to less institutional and more organic forms, new space is created for renewed dialogue. Our American form of faith community has largely been determined by modern culture with little critique from the respective traditions. Emerging synagogues and churches have deconstructed these forms, creating simple spiritual communities formed around texts (texts that share a good deal of common ground). Because of these similarities from one to another, I believe we will see much fruitful interaction between the two communities in the years to come.

Amen.

Mcneal showed a clip of you and Gibbs this morning at a Present Future seminar sponsored by Fuller No.Cal. talking about how to bring the gospel to culture. It was well recieved, especially with some of the old goofy boomer generation pastors...appreciated your thoughts on culture.

ha!
