Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted July 5, 2018 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2018 At the risk of sounding totally ignorant I would like to ask specifically what the words "emerging church" means. I keep reading these words and nobody actually explains exactly what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveW Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 It is the latest terminology for a progressive church philosophy. It is nothing new, just a new name for the same old worldliness, trying to be "relevant", trying not to offend by talking about sin, and trying to appeal to people "where they are at". But ignoring most of what the Bible actually says. Don't know the relevance of the particular name "emerging" - emerging from what? from Truth into...…… not truth?????

Members wretched Posted July 5, 2018 Members Share Posted July 5, 2018 I read somewhere the name emerging is coined because they are emerging up and out of the old stale, traditional type of worship. Although no fruit can ever truly come from apostate movements like this, it sure gets allot of the party crowd into churches, but now they party in "a false jesus" name, YEEHAW.

Moderators Salyan Posted July 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 5, 2018 https://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?s=emerging+church Also take a look at the Lighthouse Trails' articles on Contemplative Spirituality - the two are very closely entwined.
