Emergent Church Spokane

Conversations about the Church and its role in a postmodern society.

Thursday, October 27, 2005

The emergent Church has been a description for a new way of doing "church" in response to a more postmodern society. More than just a response to postmodernism, the emergent church movement is a response to cookie cutter Christianity that often just barely scratches the surface of what it means to be a follower of Christ.
What I hope will come about from this blog is conversation (that is what blogs are all about right?) about the culture of Spokane, how its changing, and how the Church is changing to continue to be (or perhaps start being) a passionate voice of faith, hope and love that speaks into the lives of the lost and hurting. The Church needs to be culturally relevant if it is to a vibrant force of change.

So my question to you what changes does the church have to make to impact a postmodern generation?

If you are reading this and you are not a Christian, what is it that turns you off to the Church? When you hear the word "church" or "christian" what first comes into your mind?
