Sure God used it ! ... as he can use a donkey to talk to Balaam !! as he can use rocks to shout his truth ... simply, the church is becoming what it should really be and the guys is all surprised that the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures actually lead even the new believers.... duuuhhh ...come on,.... you pastors were there just in the way to not let them here from Him and you just discovered what He always was trying to do, ... in spite of you.... it is not because we are now in a post-mod era that we have to change the way we do church, it is because in the modern era we were doing a church that is not a church as i said, i am just beginning the reading,... maybe i will find some good stuff i am just beginning it,…. i am not really impressed up to now…

we really feel the guys are in a process of bereavment with institutionnal church…. i don’t really feel they think that not only the church as we used to live it IS right now irrelevant for this generation, but it NEVER was even 200 years ago… this church was not the gospel.

in my mind, the institutionnal church has NEVER been conformed to the truth of the gospel… it is not because it was “popular” in the past that it was right in that time… it was an easy gospel, a sunday gospel, a no-cross gospel.

Sure God used it ! … as he can use a donkey to talk to Balaam !! as he can use rocks to shout his truth …

simply, the church is becoming what it should really be

and the guys is all surprised that the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures actually lead even the new believers…. duuuhhh …come on,…. you pastors were there just in the way to not let them here from Him and you just discovered what He always was trying to do, … in spite of you….

it is not because we are now in a post-mod era that we have to change the way we do church, it is because in the modern era we were doing a church that is not a church

as i said, i am just beginning the reading,… maybe i will find some good stuff

To me, it shows that the "Australian stream" of the emerging church, focusing on being missional, really can work in the United States. Did you see that they have now published a Primer for the book?

This book sounds like one I would Amen my way through!
