Emerging Africa

20 February 2008.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to be a christian with an emerging theology. Alot of things depend on church affiliation.

This blog is more of a question to emergent theologians...in a world where religious pluralism/syncretism is increasingly more common, how are we to engage with those of a different faith?

Personal Reflection/Struggle:

So lately I've been thinking a lot about what salvation is…I mean, as Christians we so often talk about being saved or "getting" saved, being born again, regenerated or whatever you want to call it but what does that mean? Essentially…saved from what?

Is salvation something you can only get when you reach a point of intellectual agreement about who Jesus Christ is and say yes I believe that works for me too?

Have you Bean to Church Lately:

Hi, my names Ashley and if church is that place with a steeple or a big carved pulpit then noI havent been to church lately. On the contrary, I see church as less of a place to go to than it is something to be. Church isnt necessarily all about stained glass windows, a worship team and shiny polished wooden pews for me. They call me post-modern, emergent and a bunch of other thingsbut Im just an ordinary Christian, a ragamuffin saved by Gods grace, displayed through his Son Jesus Christ.
