An "insignificant asterisk"
I don't know much about the "Emerging Church Movement". I think their four values of "humanity, church, scripture, and truth" are on the right track, though I also think it would be better to rejuvenate the old Church rather than to "construct a new church." But I'm on their side on this one: "Desert Pastor" at Paradoxology posted some things about the recent "Emergent convention", including this new "logo":
It was prompted by this (from Paradoxology)
"During the excellent round of discussion with those in our L.C., one particular associate pastor shared that his senior pastor wasn't all that thriled he was attending the Emergent Convention -- he wanted him instead to attend a Willow Creek conference or the like, commenting that the emerging church movement as "an insignificant asterisk on the history of church growth." We all howled! Astutely, Doug Pagitt quickly announced our movement's new "logo" and posted it on the meeting room wall (pictured)."
Someday all the world will see what wonders the LORD has performed through "insignificant asterisks."
