It was great to start the class -- maybe 35 of us working through the material...
A very rough guesstimate of our students might be:
Pastors, mission leaders, youth pastors, those concerned with church growth and/or connecting to the youth -- 40%
Curious, concerned, or those desiring to learn more about the Emerging Church itself -- 40%
Those who are disillusioned with church as we know it -- 20%
Interspersed among these were artists seeking to connect with culture...(maybe 5 to 10% of the class). And of course, many could put themselves in multiple categories, but this is how they described their primary reason for attending...
I found that these Emerging Church topics, in any venue, invite many questions, and this class is no exception...I feel like Eddie and I talked too much -- but hopefully that will change as we move into the rest of the week.
A word to those outside the class who want to visit our class blog and individual blogs -- by all means you are welcome!!
