I'd love to continue the discussion. I have much to dialogue with you about. I find that doing so in the public sphere gives us better perspective. We can dialogue here if you'd like. Ken–

The truth is that the emerging church movement grew out of the Terranova Project of Leadership Network in 1997. I planted a mission church on 1994 and there was no such thing as any emerging church movement or I would have been in it. I tried the whole man-centered "missional" deal long before those guys were put together. Call it "emerging" or "Emergent" it still comes from the same semi-pelagian new evangelical root in the Church Growth movement. It is not a reform of God but of man. My answer is, no.

I'm a Nazarene pastor in Iowa who has benefited hugely from a re-focus on Jesus Christ himself that has been partly fueled by preaching from the lectionary and writings of emergent church thinkers. It appears to me, as well, that we are re-discovering the essence of the beginning of the Church of the Nazarene (and, no doubt, of many groups): it is a passion to know, to have, to be like Jesus in our world.
