The Archbishop of Canterbury's Easter Message

Lenten Series Week 3 - The Emergent Church

Week 3 of the Lenten deals with the Emergent Church. While we have spoken at length about Phyllis Tickle's understanding of "The Great Emergence," this week deals with some of the churches that are intentionally blending Conservative, Renewalist, Liturgical, and Social Justice strains of Christianity. In many cases their worship looks foreign and their theology is fuzzy. That's okay. The intent of this class in the Lenten Series is not to make us an Emergent Church, but to become aware of the movement.
