emerging church, emergent, simple church, house church, home church.Saturday, April 30
tomorrow's church Met yesterday with Michael Moynagh, author of: Some of the research we are doing overlaps and we hope to be able to combine forces in a small way to go further, faster. We had an inspiring conversation and I was very encouraged to find how far outside the box Michael actually was. He has an enormous breadth of experience and thinking, demonstrated through his work & writing via the Tomorrow project. In terms of where we might be going church wise we were both wrestling with some similar issues to do with what is actually needed if we are to see movement generated, issues related to leadership for the 'emerging' church, how is it going to be developed and where is it going to come from, how do we make a 'knowledge bank' for these leaders/pioneers available (or do we need that at all!), the lack of a foundational family structure in this country which makes it highly difficult to introduce 'household church' in a first century style (perhaps there are alternatives?); the importance of the relationship between the existing/big and the emerging/small; the possibility of reproductive training models rather than 'come to us' centralised systems. Lots of helpful and challenging thoughts. For more posts check out the Archives or for a specific topic use site search tool. |
