Thinking about emerging church - trying not to get sucked into the 'it's new evangelism' thinking. It's real church for real people, authentically expressed emerging from the culture and emerging from the needs of the populace.
I've been e mailing all over the world today to find out what people think is the gift that the inherited (or established, or traditional) church can give to the emerging church. And I feel a hypocrite. I led a large inherited church for 5 years and thought it was fantastic - but have developed my thinking in more recent days and now realise that if the lost are to be reached we have to engage new church and authentic faith. Not glitter and glamour but truth and authenticity.

About Me
- Russell
- Well sit me down with a cup of coffee and a good book with some music in the background and you won't be troubled by me for a long time! However the real me is more about serving my God in as effective way as possible - through worship and spirituality. I have a wife, 4 children and no pets. I like a good movie - old or new and love to look for the hidden messages within them - intentional or otherwise.
Favourite Books
