And Except for those who want to play on the fringe by symanttically differentiating between emerging (which literally means "coming or arriving") and emergent who are those (who came or arrived too far)... I don't see how folks can disagree with what Driscoll said. I'm not one to jump into the whole Driscoll vs whomever thing, but his message and your questions and applicatyions are challenging and worth the LONG listen... Good Blog. Glad I stopped by. Good summary !

(Ok, I'm almost 30, but I'm going kicking and screaming so I'm claiming to be at the early part of your generation and not old enough to be in mine. :D) Anyway, I'd love to hear any answers you've come up with to your questions. God bless. - Matt You don’t know me, but I found you by way of my old friend Bill Allison and “Cup o’joe” Just wanted to say good questions and it gives me hope for our generation of ministers.

In my understanding "emerging" refers to the broader, larger category which I think you are referring to and the term "emergent" is a narrower term referring more specifically to the organization Emergent Village and people associated like Brian Mclaren. Justin Taylor has a series of entries on his blog on emerging which also helpfully distinguishes these terms. The first entry in the series can be found here: http://theologica.blogspot.com/2005/11/what-is-emerging-church-movement-part.html Jordan,
