emergingumc: a gathering
- eminently practical
you will share and learn what's happening where you are and identify and celebrate many ways forward-- or downward, or backward, or sideways
- deeply spiritual
in worship, spiritual practices, and the disciplines of Christian conferencing lived from our postmodern context
- institutionally challenging
the "subtheme" of this gathering is "What we want the mainline church to know about the emerging missional church," and we're looking to publish the presentations you and others bring to make your voices heard
- authentically missional
not "here's ten ways to fix your church and get lots of people to come," but "here's how we're discovering and learning to respond to God's mission in the midst of the people and institutions where we are, and here are some questions we still have"
But above all, emergingumc: a gathering is your event-- an opportunity for you as United Methodists who are exploring and birthing the emerging missional church among us to
- share what you're doing and learning,
- build stronger networks across the connection, and
- amplify your voices to strengthen and deepen the practices of the emerging missional church among United Methodists in particular and mainline denominations in the US in general
