The emerging church seems to be forking in three directions, says scholar Ed Stetzer...
- The most conservative fork accepts the gospel and the church in their historic forms but seeks to make them more understandable in contemporary culture.
- A second fork accepts the gospel but questions and reconstructs much of the traditional church form.
- The third, the most radical, questions and re-envisions both the gospel and the church.

I think this link is a really good place to go if you want to understand the varying directions the church may be emerging in the coming years. Here's a quote:

I am in the center of the first fork...where are you?
or are you not sure, lol.
It's odd, but I find myself on a journey with God that has taken me all over the map on this over the years. I think accordingly I might be in one place today and another tomorrow, but I hope to always die to my own ideals and ultimately promote the Lord's.
that's my boy Tony! slick as ice!
*sigh*
Please don't misread an essay answer to your multiple choice question as being slick... it's me being honest. Hope that's okay.
let's not be a drama queen, lol, no need for sighing...
by slick I did not mean "liar"...I think you answered the best you could.
great read! loved it! cheers

Thanks, Wil! (and for your email today, too)
Gary... um, yeah.
???
I think you read too much into me...I'm just asking a question...I'm not a Nazi or a head hunter! I’m not one of the bad guys out to trick people…
your answer amused me...that’s all…because once again I couldn't nail you down to a simple answer...that's why I said 'slick'...that was not to say you lied...but that you answered my question as best as you could.
that's all my friend...no harm or offense intended...
I think I'll do you a favor and go away now...sorry...
i think i'd go with all three or at least want to see and listen to all three, i think they can all inform and contribute to each other and make our faith more vibrant and honest...
