The Postmodern Canon
I saw in Perspectives Magazine that the emergent church has a "canon", or collection of classic books!
These include:
A Renovation of the Heart - Dallas Willard
Missional Church - Various
Streams of Living Water - RJ Foster
A Generous Orthodoxy - Brian McLaren
A is for Abductive - Various
A Primer on Postmodernism - Stanley J Grenz
The Cost of Discipleship - D Bonhoeffer
Leadership and the New Science - MJ Wheatley
New Seeds of Contemplation - THomas Merton
The Prophetic Imagination - Walter Brueggemann
Soul Survivor - Yancey
The Divine Conspiracy - Dallas Willard
The Great Divorce - CS Lewis
Blue like Jazz - Donald Miller
The Resurrection of the Son of God - NT Wright
Exclusion and Embrace - M Volf
The CHurch on the other side - McLaren
Who's afraid of Postmodernism - James KA Smith
God's Politics - Jim Wallis
Searching for God knows what - Don Miller
Having read only a few of these - I wonder if they are all relevant? And there are definitely a few that I would add.
Was just wondering what you all would like to add/take away.

The Postmodern Canon
Estelle - great list of books.
For your own purposes - check out Peter Rollins - his latest book the "Fidelity of Betrayel" is a voive I'm guessing you'll have an interesting conversation with.
PS: we're looking to emerge as a 'Afrikaanse kerk' here in Cape Town - first gatherings Jan next year - will keep you posted.
Antoon
Jy moet ons leer
Antoon - hoe se jy "emergent" in Die Taal? As daar nie a woord is nie dan hoef jy een op te maak!
Afrikaanse emergents
Ek dink dit is iets soos die Uitkomende Kerk of iets vertraag soos dit.
Of ontluikend? (n.a.v.
Of ontluikend? (n.a.v. "emerging markets" = "ontluikende markte")
meer woorde, asb
Uitkomende , ontluikend?
Dis is eindlik nie vir my te se nie, maar die eerste lyk soos ["Outed"] en die ander is miskien a bietjie tegnologies?
Op die ou end eks net a soutie met matriek afrikaans. Die rede hoekom ek vraag is vir [authenticity]. Ons moet almal voel dat die kultuur ons [embrace] is ons eie kultuur.
Ek is baie interesant in stories soos die van Koos Kombuis, wie sy eie volk [betrayed], jy kan see hy't [emerged], maar nou sing hy van n plek van rerige krag: Byvoorbeeld (dit is 'n bietjie vuil - kyk weg nou of jy te heligie is)
"Anderkant die longdrop
Is die blokhuis in sy moer
Anderkant die longdrop
Word ek weer ‘n boer"
(van die uitstekende "bloedrivier")
"OPTREDEND" is "emergent" in Dutch
The Dutch for 'emergent' is 'optredend'. I wondered if there was a good Afrikaans word which would translate better than 'ontluikend' ?
Afrikaanse emergent/emerging
Ek soek self na 'n beter term as ontluikend, ek dink nie dit is die beste vertaling nie. As iemand my hiermee kan help sal ek dit baie waardeer!
O, en hier uit die Noorde is ook Afrikaanse emerging eksperimente besig en oppad...
Watse term kom by jou op as jy hierdie prentjie sien? Dit kan dalk ons op iets afbring.
volroom sjokolade
Wat sal dit wees? Seker iets met sjokolade. Dink jy nie dat die vraag self is baie modern?
