The Emergents' Official Ecumenical Announcement

It's official...the Emergent Village has announced their embrace of omni-denominational partners in their collective spiritual journeys as they seek to serve mankind. Dwight Friesen, in his presentation to The National Council of Churches , reveals The Emergent Village & Full Communion perspective.

Some of Friesen's quotes shed light on the elusive emergent environment...

"Emergent Village serves as their first step into ecumenical dialogue;... participants in our emerging conversation come from an array of traditions. "

"Emergent Village began as a group of friends gathering under the auspices and generosity of The Leadership Network ."

"...we gathered in conversation,the more we discovered others who held similar dreams for their lives, their communities of faith and for the world."

"...we in Emergent Village are endeavoring to resource the theological imaginations and holistic-spiritual lives of all those who consider themselves a part of this broader movement."

"Emergent Village is a type of ecumenical movement of Christian churches from various ecclesial traditions, parachurch organizations, and Christian social-advocates..."

"...(participants)in Emergent Village life...anyone who self-identifies with the
parameters of the village conversations. "

"We are committed to a “generous orthodoxy” . "
(Editor's note: guess who else shares this commitment. Here's another chance to guess.)

"We have worked very close with a growing group of “Emerging Rabbis” who have formed an organization called Synagogue 3000."

From the editor: Like the new godfather of "liberalism", we find Rick Warren hand-in-hand with with the emergent personalities. Is your church holding Rick Warren's hand too ?

Hosea Chapter 2
2"Plead with your mother, plead-- for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband--that she put away her whoring from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts; 3lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born,and make her like a wilderness, and make her like a parched land, and kill her with thirst. 4Upon her children also I will have no mercy, because they are children of whoredom. 5For their mother has played the whore; she who conceived them has acted shamefully.For she said, 'I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
