And, surprisingly, though there is much diversity in the rethinking, there is also much similarity. In 2005 we traveled out to an area that is about 5 hours off the paved roads in a remote area among the Maasai where we used to live. We were surprised to hear people talking about wanting to be the church and stop doing church, wanting to impact the whole of their community and be involved in Creation Care not only traditional evangelism etc etc. That's when it really hit us that the Spirit is doing this--it's not just catching on as a fad.<br/><br/>On the other hand, having read and discussed and read and discussed and explored and adventured and read and discussed some more on this topic, I have to admit I'm getting tired of the conversation. I know that sounds bad and I DO appreciate open, safe venues where people can dream out loud, but I just want to live it now and stop talking about it.<br/><br/>But that's just a reflection of my own state of mind. LIke I said, I know how helpful it is to have friends to talk it through with. <br/><br/>This blog is a good place for that.

It would be fascinating to experience such an integrated approach in my opinion. These days I see more and more distinct divisions between the different streams of the emerging church in the US - especially between the relevant worship crowd and the theology crowd.
