In the same vein as my post on the Emergent Conversation, I have been reading, thinking and pondering more about this idea of the emerging church. In my travels today, I found this Christianity today article and the most wonderful quote below:
[With his circle diagrams, McLaren is popularizing the work of the late British missionary Lesslie Newbigin, who returned from a lifetime in India to spend his last years reflecting on the need for a new theology of mission. "According to Newbigin, the greatest heresy in monotheism is a misunderstanding of the doctrine of election," McLaren says. "Election is not about who gets to go to heaven; election is about who God chooses to be part of his crisis-response team to bring healing to the world."]
