About Us
We are a group of Christ followers interested in the emergent conversation. We live in and around the eastern Iowa corridor area. We try to practice locally and incarnationally the way Emergent Village works. We meet primarily online in this blog, but have occasional meet-ups in person. What binds us together is a common desire to be in robust and respectful conversation about what matters to God.
The painting depicting community is by a man from uruguay named Fabian Moszkowicz. He has autism.

I think he is on to something. Case study: as Episcopalians we are likely to be very open and tolerant of theological diversity...but don't mess with our Book of Common Prayer, or "apostolic succession" of bishops!
Others (even Anglicans in our own Communion) are very tolerant of changing and indigenous worship and music...but don't mess with the Bible (proof texts rule!)
yeah, that really makes sense to me!!! I think he whittled down a whole lot of problems into a really concise and common sense framework for these discussions.
It's nice to hear from the mainliners. I do agree that Protestant/evangelicals are willing to adjust the medium if they think the content is "sound". Sound has a meaning all it's own. I spoke about that in a recent blog post .
Yeah, like "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" " 'sound' may be in the ear of the listener!"
Or, one person's "sound" may be another's "silence. "
You know, it's interesting to think about being a "mainliner." Yes, United Methodists are pretty standard mainline... but even within that framework there are "high church" and "low church", or I guess, more traditional and more evangelical traditions. The church I served in Nashville was a big downtown place and liturgy/tradition/appearance was placed above content... you were free to disagree, differences of theology were valued. My small town Iowa church is much more rigid on thought, but seems to me to be more flexible on style.
