putting wheels on Grenz’ theology of community Felt this was worth posting on both sites; Click here for full article: A chat with Frank Viola on church planting. Came across an interview that Mike Morrell did recently with Frank Viola; in it he covers some really current issues that relate to the emerging church. He comments on Dallas Willard, Organic church - church as a living embodiment of Christ - an outflow of the triune community of the Godhead; An organic church is simply a church that is left on its own after it is properly planted to develop by its own life. This is in stark contrast to a clergy-led, institution-driven church.Stanley Grenz, Someone once said that John Wimber put wheels on theologian George E. Ladd’s theology of the Kingdom. I have been similarly “accused” of putting wheels on Grenz’ theology of community. If that is true in any sense, I certainly am not the only one. But it is true that this work is rare today.The Emerging Church, By my lights, the key that will determine the future of the emerging church and its relationship to church planting hangs on whether or not the leaders in the conversation are willing to work together. posted by alexander @ 11:02 AM 0 comments
