Emerging Missional Church

Theology is simply a logical understanding or image of God, but that image is deeply shaped by our the story we have experience, which is different for everyone. And as we engage God’s story we’re always rubbing up against our current perception of reality. And if we don’t have a place to be honest about our own brokenness, about our questions, our angers, about our frustrations and perceptions with God, then we have no place to tear down the obstacles that actually keep me from engaging relationship with God. Emerging Church Weblog, 5 Things We Got Right in the Emerging Missional Church, Posted Sep 28,by Steve Knight

I started this blog so I could "have a place to be honest." I don't know much about the Emerging Missional Church but I am learning. This blog mentions Rob Bell; our previous pastor used some of his videos to supplement his sermon on several occasions. That did not go over well with some folks. I have heard several negative comments about some new things in worship that the young people can relate to. I sometimes get very tired of this kind of thinking that leads towards extinction. Have I mentioned that I am church council chair?
