Emerging Church Dialogue

Andrew Jones posted a link to a conversation between an emerging pastor and a pentecostal denomination about the cultural shift that is going on. He told them what people outside the church are saying about people inside the church. Here are some snippets of the conversation.

CHURCH CULTURE - please get out of the “ghetto” you have created of christian everything. (schools, music, clothes, video games, fortune cookies, etc. - it is ridiculous - you are addicted to the culture you created)

The response I received was predictable. Many Student and College Pastors were in agreement. Knodding and smiling, and encouraging. Most of the Lead Pastors were either upset or confused. There were some exceptions, but generally speaking they were pretty defensive.
My fear however is that most pastors dismissed much of what we did today, and said in their heads, “I think I’ll just stay in my comfortable bubble of ministry.”
