Homosexuality and the (emergent) church

church and homosexualityInteresting post on the topic of homosexuality and the church over at Emergent Voyageurs. It attracted a stream of intelligent and (mostly) respectful discussion from a range of viewpoints (some 45 comments when I last looked).

I'm not sure I understand yet what the emerging/ent church movement is all about, but any movement within Christianity that seeks to move away from dogma and broaden the basis of religious discussion and praxis is welcome.

If anyone can shed some light on the relationship between the emergent church and other movements such as liberal/progressive Christianity, evangelicalism, neo-orthodoxy, etc -- please jump in!

Update, January 6: Jamie pointed me to Scot McKnight's blog for a discussion of the emerging church.

Thanks for the shout out. I would highly recommend you visit Scot McKnight's blog www.jesuscreed.org and read his posts under the Emerging Church category. There is a lot there, but I can think of NO better introduction. Peace, Jamie
