Considering the Emerge-ncy

So I am studying the phenomenon called The Emerging Church. As is my practice I plan to use this blog to contain my studies and archive the resources I have come across. In particular, I am interested in one special voice in all this cacophony of emergence: Peter Rollins. Why should I pick on Rollins? Well he comes highly recommended to me by my good Friend Phyllis Tickle as a useful avatar of an emergent teacher.

The first issue to wrestle to the ground is this problem of the Post Modern. This is a particularly thorny issue that does not want to sit still very long. One way in is through Brian McClaren who is one of the leading teachers in the Emerge-ncy.
Here is a three part lecture I have found interesting and useful.






Well then in this process of maping the mapless territory here is a video I found of Peter Rollins talking about what we have to give up.


So what happens when these two guys--Brian McLaren and Peter Rollins talk together. Here is a video where McLaren interviews Rollins.
