That is whether you and Erwin Mc., are calling yourself Emerging or Emergent or not. First of all, I checked the mosaic website and it is at best very vague. Their is nothing written about the tenants of the Bible,Christianity and beliefs of your church. It is just a hodgepodge of "let's get together", for a mission. What mission is not clearly stated. Groups and meetings..community Yes it is good to get together as Christians but it is important to preach against sin..adultery,homosexuality,abortion, stealing, lying...and of course many others. Yet leaders like you and your brother are vague and don't draw a clear line in what you are trying to accomplish. To some it is. Is it in numbers, number of people coming through the doors? The number of youth? Yes youth...come as you are..but change! Preach the tenants of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as they are written in the Bible and preach against sin! That's what the people need to hear about, the good news of Salvation in Jesus Christ only. He only came to set the captives free! It's not mystical. It's The Truth. Hello,

What all this word origin discussion means in the light of world problems, people suffering, wars etc. is so incredibly insignificant and even silly - but now I have answered what I get asked a lot and hope for those that care - this helps distinguish some of the differences of "emerging" and "emergent" as originally developed as we use them today." If by 'emergent' we mean emerging from the institutionalised religion that Christianity has become then fine, but why do we need to label it!? As long as we do what Jesus called us to do - our mission as his dsciples - we do not need a label. As Erwin so rightly points out if we 'Live by Faith', 'Be known by Love' and 'Be a voice of Hope', then we need no label, other than Followers of Jesus.
