Emergence Conference

a post-evangelical church for a post-Christian world?

Over the past several years there has been for some a growing uneasiness and for others an unprecedented excitement about the church among emerging generations. There is a movement afoot in our world called the "emerging church" that has called into question the normal way of doing church and being the church. Many are wondering if in our post-Christian world the church has become little more than a resting place for all things religious.

Join us for a unique weekend conversation that will feature many of the key leaders in the emerging church movement. This event will provide you with a first-hand experience with people who are re-imagining what the church can be for a post-Christian world. Come and interact with key leaders about the beliefs, practices and ways of engaging culture in the way of Jesus.

I think the idea that we are living in a post-christian world requires embracing a pattern of living that has emerged in the last 75 years, but that ignores a bigger pattern of religious behavior throughout the documented life of our faith. It feels like we are describing the philosophical state of our current "age" as if it is new under the sun and so requires sudden new thinking. Are we evolving, or simply having a dis-stable reaction to only the most recent 50-75 year history? I feel like we are rebuilding our house because someone noticed that a person walked by and "seemed to give a look."
