As reported earlier this year, the Southern Baptist North American Mission Board sponsored the 2007 National New Church Conference. The attendees represented the Purpose Driven, the Seeker Sensitive and the Emergent.
Now the NAMB support for the purpose driven the seeker sensitive and the emergent is out in broad daylight at Missional Network. Ed Stetzer in the Video On Demand Introduction, explains the missional effort of the NAMB, in culturally relevant terms.
Stetzer lists "biblically faithful" and "relevant in culture" churches such as "purpose driven churches, churches in emerging cultures, seeker churches" as candidates to be networked together.
Also on the website is a link to the Pursuant Group, the monthly e-zine of The Leadership Network. Stetzer's own website promotes the emergent and the ecumenical, The Ooze and Leonard Sweet (with a disclaimer).
