Description

Many have heard of the emerging church, but few people feel like they have a handle on what the emerging church believes and represents. Is it a passing fad led by disenfranchised neo-evangelicals? Or is it the future of the church at large?Now available in trade paper, An Emergent Manifesto of Hope represents a coming together of divergent voices into a conversation that pastors, students, and thoughtful Christians can now learn from and engage in. This unprecedented collection of writings includes articles by some of the most important voices in the emergent conversation, including Brian McLaren, Dan Kimball, and Sally Morgenthaler. It also introduces some lesser known but integral players representing "who's next" within the emerging church. The articles cover a broad range of topics, such as spirituality, theology, multiculturalism, postcolonialism, sex, evangelism, and many others. Anyone who wants to know what the emerging church is all about needs to start here.

mersion is a partnership between Baker Books and Emergent Village, a growing, generative friendship among missional Christians seeking to love our world in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. The mersion line is intended for professional and lay leaders like you who are meeting the challenges of a changing culture with vision and hope for the future. These books will encourage you and your community to live into God s kingdom here and now.
The first of these books, An Emergent Manifesto of Hope , brings you the voices of those who are shaping the emergent conversation. Some are men and women who have been working out an emerging theology for decades. Others represent the next wave of Christian thought and practice. Both the veterans and the up-and-comers represent the essence of the Emergent Village-optimistic, passionate, hard-to-ignore.
Through their discussions of topics such as reconciliation, humanity, sexuality, and evangelism, these pastors and practitioners give you a glimpse of the ways in which the people of Emergent Village are changing what it means to live as a Christian in this age. You might not agree with everything they have to say, but you will come away from this conversation with a deeper understanding of the hopeful imagination that drives the emerging church.

Notes
INTRODUCTION Friendship, Faith, and Going Somewhere Together
T ONY J ONES
T o answer the question, What is Emergent Village? I often go back to the beginning. When I jumped on board Emergent Village, I really didn t know what I was getting into. I was invited to a meeting in a crummy hotel meeting room in Arlington, Texas, in August of 1998. And, as so many have found, being in a room with these individuals was an exhilarating experience. The energy in the room was palpable. The room positively crackled. I think that s because we had the feeling, even back then, that we were on to something.
Even as we struggled to determine what that something was, we talked about an element of the connection that was seemingly even more important, and surely more elusive, and that was and is friendship .
To be sure, there are words in English that have been overused to the point of confusion. Love is one. And friend is another. Yet as we searched for ways to identify ourselves, other appellations didn t fit. We were more than a network, and we surely weren t a denomination. We didn t want to be a club or a society. Some people have called us a think tank, but that doesn t quite fit either.
We just kept coming back to the word friend . We wanted to recover that word and to invest it with theological meaning. We knew this wouldn t be easy, for not only were we fighting the meaninglessness of a word that had been overused, but we also had the creeping suspicion that many of us didn t really know how to be true friends.
It doesn t take long to figure out that friendship is hard. Most of us find this out by, say, kindergarten. Recently I had to walk with Tanner, my five-year-old son, to his friend s house a couple blocks away and watch him apologize for something he d said on the bus. There, standing in the driveway, watching with his friend s mom, I experienced vicariously through Tanner how it felt to discover for the first time that a friendship is a fragile thing, something that needs great care.
By the time I was first getting involved in Emergent (before it was even called Emergent), I had had about two and a half decades of struggling through friendships-enough to keep me quite humble about the prospect of more and better and longer-lasting friendships. Like most everyone, I suppose, I had a wake of ex-friends (not to mention ex-girlfriends!) in my past as I encountered Emergent.
Yet I did immediately sense that there was something different about this group. We talked about ideas we had for the church and for developing a deeper life with Christ, but we almost always talked about doing it together. In fact I had the growing sense that this was the group of men and women who would take the church into its next iteration, and I became convinced that we were going to do it together .
In the beginning we came together under the auspices of Leadership Network (LN), a church-assisting foundation in Dallas. LN had hired Doug Pagitt, a former evangelical youth pastor a
