Good stuff here (see below). Thanks Winn for the notes. I think what Alan says applies well to VC. Leadership, Theology, Structure – all the stuff that we are dealing with in our life together.
It is sometimes apparent that the emergent climate is somewhat anti-structural: undifferentiated with a lack of form or order and position. However, any group that comes together forms structure. [My comment: It may be a panacea to think that there should be a formless church.]
In the panel time Alan suggested that the emerging church was in a somewhat adolescent period and should find a way to grow up.”
