Jack Sutherland replied to Jack Sutherland's discussion Should emergents remain in their traditional churches?"Hi Jack (and folks) - I think every situation is different, but speaking from my own personal experience - it may make sense for you to "leave" in the sense of directing some/most/pretty-much-all of your fellowship/worship/ministry/etc.…"
Ricky Maye replied to Jack Sutherland's discussion Should emergents remain in their traditional churches?"You may have to leave, that doesn't make you a bad person, nor the church a bad church, it just means you two are going in two different directions. I wrote a book called REthink Christianity and I got alot of similar questions and most people…"

Brian McConnell replied to Jack Sutherland's discussion Should emergents remain in their traditional churches?"I can certainly appreciate your situation Jack. Whatever's made it's way into the water is changing EVERYTHING.

Jack Sutherland posted a discussionShould emergents remain in their traditional churches?
I've been trying to figure out what relationship I should have going forward with my former church, now that I’ve developed some new “emerging” convictions. The church is very rigid in their theology, and do not welcome my continual questioning. However I do have many deep friendships there. And while most aren't open to my ideas, theyare in no way trying to push me to leave. Still remaining there in disagreement with most everyone is very burdensome, however walking away is not easy…See More
