Next Official Meeting

This first meeting was great. We had a good amount of participation and everyone seemed interested in the topic. I will be posting some follow-up thoughts about the conversation, including some I have gathered from of you.

Next Meeting: April 20th

Place: Cordelia Dining Room of the Asbury Dining Hall

Topic: I am still working on the exact question(s), but I want to talk about the role of scripture in the emerging church conversation. If you think of specific questions we should tackle, please post them in the comments section.

First Official Meeting - March 23

The first official meeting of the Wilmore-Lexington Emergent Cohort will be on Thursday, March 23. We will be meeting immediately after chapel, around 11:45, in the back dining room. We will meet until 12:50. Here are the topics we will be discussing:

• What is the emerging church?
• What is Emergent? Is it the same as the emerging church?
• Is postmodernism a conversation partner in this discussion? Is the question of postmodernism even a valid discussion?

This is a lot to chew on in the short amount of time we have, so come prepared. Below are some blogs to peruse for some sense of the kinds of discussions that are taking place, as well as the diversity of the conversation. As a qualifier for those of you looking over this list - some of the people on here do not necessarily self-identify with the Emergent and/or emerging church conversation, but these are people I have judged to be asking similar questions.
