Pastor Bob DeWaay is the Senior Pastor of Twin City Fellowship in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Pastor DeWaay may also be remembered by many Crosstalk listeners for his authorship of the book, Redefining Christianity: Understanding the Purpose Driven Movement. His latest book is entitled, The Emergent Church: Undefining Christianity.
The Emergent Church is a hard entity to pin down. Perhaps the best description came from Pastor DeWaay who said, "The eschatology that they hold to is...God is in the future drawing everything to himself." Pastor DuWaay went on to explain how "emergents" believe that God is pulling history toward himself so that the kingdom of God is emerging through things that are happening on the earth right now. They also believe that we are to cooperate with all people as we are working to bring forth the better world that they feel is emerging.
If you've heard of the Emergent Church, but wondered what makes this movement unique, you'll want to review this edition of Crosstalk.
