Are You Guys Emergent?
The question was posed to a CCA member last week. "Christ's Church? Are you guys an emergent church?" How would you answer that question? The person who was asked came and asked me on Sunday - "Are we?"
We've talked a lot about the words 'emergent' and 'emerging' before. We've also talked about what it means to be missional and conversant with the day in which we live.
This article on a Southern Baptist blog caused me both to chuckle and to scratch my head. Andrew Jones has some thoughts to share on the subject here.
What do you think? Is emergent heretical? Is too much made of labels? Is there any satisfactory definition of 'emergent' out there?

I don't think there is a satisfactory definition of the emergent church right now. When there is we'll be calling it something else. As for CCA, I think in our thinking we can lean toward being "post-modern," but in our gathering we're still pretty traditional. Now once we work up to the indie rock worship team, and the bluegrass worship team, and having service with no formal structure... then maybe.
