So much to learn. So little time.
You scored as Emergent/Postmodern, You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

The results showed a photo (which I removed due to spacing issues) of Brian McLaren whose book "a Generous Orthodoxy" was one of my recent reads. I highly recommend it. I found much clarity in seeing both the differences and similarites among the various forms of theological views. The one category the survey left out is "unfinished Christian." It is probably the one I can most enthusiastically claim!

I like "unfinished Christian!". I can see I'll have to get the McLaren book - perhaps from the library as book recommendations from bloggy friends are costing me a fortune!
Thanks for the link, and love the fan photo.
Loved your post, took the survey and no surprise this Methodist girl was also and Emergent/Postmodern!! I'm currently doing the Course in Miracles which has added a whole new dimention to this piece of clay still on the Potter's wheel 'aka Unfinished Christian!. A Theme that I am studying in the Course in Miracles.....If I am a true son/daughter of God the teaching is that makes me a true sibling/sister/brother to Christ, part human/part divine....hence part of the Trinity with my other sisters/brothers/siblings of the world.....changes the way I feel about myself, my earthly and finally my heavenly family.....! I'd love Lucy's thoughts on this!? Love, Pamela
My husband has the McLaren book.. he loves this author.
great post! Happy Friday :)
i think "unfinished" Christian is my favorite! i have always loved the concept of being an unfinished woman, because if we are finished...then what??
pamela--lucy's first and initial response to your post is "Amen." i will ponder it a bit more and see what pops out.
happy friday to you, too, shelby, et al!
