Ok, so which is better to say I'm "emerging" or "transforming"? Are those of us who tend to move ourselves away from the EC thing just a split? Are we rebels within a rebellion?
I prefer to not label myself to be honest. This whole Emerging Church is way too commercial, like next thing you know EC will marry PDC and they will have cute kids together. How do you like that picture? YIKES!
So here I am. I'm in the wilderness some where. The journey gets rough, but I meet many ones that are the same as I. They don't like to identify with the shiney new things that seem to pass through the desert, but the do learn from then. The thing is the shiny things seem to get a group of people, almost like a baby to bright colours. I don't mean to judge those people, but it seems so fake, so unnatural. Maybe its just me, just my prefrence, but it just seems right, it seems that is where God is, in the real places.
Is this so wrong to think this way?

personally, i think that's a great joke, the ec marrying the pdc and making baby evangelists. talk about genetically engineering your offspring!
on a more serious note: i opine that it is the consumeristic, sales-driven approach to church-as-commodity that seems so unnatural. are you wierd? sure. take a number. get in line. we'll start a recovery group. i'll develop the marketing materials so we can get funding. this is gonna be the Next Big Thing!
YIPPEE, we get to have our own off spring! ;)
sometimes I really get into the EC stuff, its the most relatable to me, but other times it scares me. This post came after doing a walk in blog land.
