I'm writing my final thesis on the emerging church, my aim is to give most weight to their practical ecclesiology. I would highly appreciate any comments on my work and my thoughts. Thanks!

"report from the battlefield"


A report from the battle field:
Whilst the emerging church is emerging, the modern church continues to battle against postmodernity, that torpedo doesn't seem to be a hit, the e.c.-submarine however can expect a full blow from the modern church! Did these guys forget that they are actually on the same side?! Maybe the e.c. could expect this after having surfaced so boldly with the flag of protest raised... but there might be more danger ahead for the emerging church! It looks like postmodernism could propose a threat in a short while. It might be time to submerge. Look, the guy on the bow, is it Spencer Burke? is it Brian McLaren? He'd better get inside and prepare for diving! But no, he's watching p.m. closely, trying to figure out, is it friend or foe?
Hopefully the modern church will decide to call back their torpedo('s?). The next stages of this conflict will be very intresting and important indeed!

(any suggestions on how to procede? Do you agree with the picture, disagree? Let's make this highly interactive!=) Why don't you leave a comment and tell me how you see this 'conflict' evolving. Where are you standing at present? What do you expect for the future? I'll try and figure out new pictures as our conversation evolves=))

HI jesse,
Love your work - I know it sort of sucks that it is only me leaving a comment - not a new theological mind to interact with. Gotta say, the picture is great but surely the Emerging church can't be so singular and united - rather than a nuclear sub, the varried and diverse nature of the e.c. might more aptly be represented with lifeboats - each travelling in different directions.
Do you see the E.C as a powerful effective machine? Would you say it has actually made significant impact in 'Kingdom' terms?
