The Emerging Church

The impact of the “-isms” of modernity and postmodern thought on the American Christian church? How did the philosophy and methods of the “Emerging Church” of the early 2000’s differ from its predecessors’. What changes did its leading thinkers hope to affect and why?  Through intentional, constructive and compassionate dialogue wit both allies and critics alike, R. Scott Smith gained insight into the meaning and intentions of the Emerging Church movement. He shares them in this first part of a two-part series; The Emerging Church: Understanding and Assessing a Complex Movement.” This lecture took place on November 14, 2007, at a CSLI conference in Annandale, Virginia.
