Gathering June 1
Hello Gang,
We're meeting againg. This time on June 1st. That's right, uno de juno.
Panera Bread @ 71st and Lewis (in the "special" room)
10:30am and go until 1pm.
Topic: Can we stop being Protestants?
Presenters will be Wade Hodges and Mark Riddle
Mark thinks we can stop. Wade thinks Mark's wrong. They will go mano y mano. er... they'll present some ideas.
Is it possible to be what some call Post-Protestant. It seems that we are very good at living our heritage as protestants. We can disagree with the local church/ denom, not reach an agreement that satisfies us, so in protest, we start our own church/denom. For 500 years protestants have been protesting. Our churches today are a reflection of that. Some say Emergent and the emerging church are just the latest reaction and protest of the church today. Churches are being planted, people leave staff positions, others feel isolated from others or stuck. What is a healthy way to proceed? Is it possible to move to a place in which we aren't just endlessly differentiating ourselves for everyone else. This is not a solely theological endevour, it is also an issue of character, and spirtual formation for us as we engage the conversation. Look on emergenttulsa.blogspot.com for more information.
July and August.
We're going to read a book and discuss it together over two months.
The Shaping of Things to Come is the book. Go to amazon and order it if you haven't already.

Looking forward to seeing you all next week!
Steve, Paul, Mark and Wade

"Post"-protestant? I became convinced some time ago that all Emergents eat "Post"-Toasties for breakfast, I hear the word "post" so much.
