Hey all….sorry it has been so long for me in that I haven’t posted anything in such a very long time.\u00c2\u00a0 But I thought with our Annual Conference coming up and our meeting on the 14th I thought I would put a question out there that I am wrestling with currently.<\/p>\n
It seems like in discussions around the Emerging Church as well as the Missional Church (sometimes these two expression go hand in hand, and sometimes they don’t….we at Veritas try to describe ourselves as an emerging missional community of faith) everything is about the urban setting.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s almost like “if you want to be emerging and missional you must live in an urban context.”\u00c2\u00a0 Have any of you run into the same thing?<\/p>\n
My question is, is this right or can a community of faith be emerging and missional in the suburbs?\u00c2\u00a0 And if so, what does that look like?\u00c2\u00a0 This is a very personal issue with me as Kim and I look at what God is calling us to do and be in the very near future (I will share about it at AC).\u00c2\u00a0 Do we stay where we are (in the suburbs) or move into Lancaster city?\u00c2\u00a0 If we stay what does it look like to be emerging and missional in the burbs.\u00c2\u00a0 If we go to the city what does it look like to be emerging and missional in the city.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Any thoughts, comments, etc.. would be greatly appreciated.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
