Emerging Church? Submerging? Merging?



So, emerging is the new buzz, eh? The salvation of the church? Contemporary and relevant, right? Or is it just re-creating the mainline churches of the 60s for a new generation?

This is my concern. How does the "emergent" church be multicultural and multigenerational? Can a community be relevant across tradiational lines of division - age, race, orientation, musical preference, time of service?

I mean this is the Pentecost church right? An emergent church that shattered boundaries. Anyone got any success stories or ideas to try out?
