What is Emergent?
Here are some links provided by my good friend Steve Bush over at Harbinger:
What is emergent?
In the coming weeks, as I have time, I intend to develop and promote a positive conception of "emerging Christianity." That means I need resources to refer my readers to who are unfamiliar with the term, since I'll be using it regularly.
So this post will serve as to provide a small selection of resources to better understand various interpretations of emergent. I'll add to it as I see fit. It will be a relatively short list, but if anyone has resources they recommend, including for example, your own blog, feel free to leave it in the comments.
I will focus almost entirely on emergent in the US context, since the US is such a unique animal when it comes to religiosity. But of course I recognize and appreciate that emergent is not at all a uniquely US phenomenon.
