Grand Rapids , Mich. , Apr. 11, 2007 – There is a conversation growing among today’s generation about how the church will respond to changes in culture. The emerging church movement has gained recent attention for its controversial methods and messages, but what is it really about?
Four prominent members of the emerging church movement are gathering at Mars Hill Church at 7551 35th Avenue S.W. in Seattle for a panel discussion to explain this growing, controversial movement. Join the weekend conversation on June 1 and 2. Krista Tippett, host of NPR’s fastest-growing radio show, Speaking of Faith, moderates as emerging church leaders Mark Driscoll, Dan Kimball, Doug Pagitt and Karen Ward explain their take on the emerging church.
This fresh take on the gospel has people talking about the church, authenticity and experimental spirituality. Learn what ideas are behind this movement and go beyond the book, Listening to the Beliefs of the Emerging Church, to find out more. Is the emerging church about new methods only or about a new message?
The weekend conversation will explore such questions as:
- What is the emerging church?
- What does the emerging church believe?
- How does the emerging church practice what it believes?
- How does the emerging church engage with culture?
- As well as questions from the audience
Find out straight from the voices of the movement so you can come to your own conclusions about the emerging church.
