Emergent church - the conference

Go have a look at the Emergent Village weblog for some really interesting commentary on where this 'new reformation' has got to - but to whet your appetites these are a few bits emerging!!

Brian McLaren: 'What you focus on determines what you miss * Our traditional understanding of Jesus may not have been wrong, but partial'

Richard Rohr: 'We must turn from a belief system to an inner experience. Know them, don’t believe them * Recognize that I am living inside a mind bigger than my own. Someone is loving through me, and all I am is the conduit. * Francis didn’t run off and join the Franciscans – He just did it.'

Shane Claiborne: 'Stop explaining/complaining about the church we have experienced and work at becoming the church we dream of. We need to be relevant to the big questions of the day while retaining our cultural peculiarity. Fascinate the world with grace!'
