Emerging Church Part 1

by Brian on July 7, 2008

I don’t normally post audio from my Sunday School lessons here, but there is enough interest in this topic that I thought it might be worthwhile in this case.Yesterday (7/6) we began a series on the emerging church.

  • You can listen to my first presentation in this series here.
  • You can download the first few pages of my handout for this series here.

Brian,

I love the format for your notes. Is it in Word? Can you send me a template?

I’d also like to have the rest of the study.

Thanks for making it available.

Hi Brian,

Read your notes. Thanks for posting them. I would recommend you read Organic Church (Growing Faith Where Life Happens) by Neil Cole. By far, this was the best book I have read. I have read more than 10 books on the Emerging Church over the last year. I refuse to waste my time reading anything written by Brian McClaren after having browsed a couple of his books. I am interested in reading the rest of your notes over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the suggestion, Pete. I’ll check it out.

(For anyone else reading these comments, I responded to the first comment by Dave via email. I’m not ignoring him).

David,

Here’s another copy of the email I sent you last week. I’m not sure why it didn’t get to you. Spam filter, maybe? In any case, I’m going to email this, then post it in the comments so that, hopefully, this time you will get it. Please reply and let me know if you received the email this time.

Brian

HI David,

Thanks for you email. I use a Mac and I did these notes on Apple’s Pages program which is part word processor and part page layout program. It makes very nice documents, as you see. As a long time Word user, it occasionally causes me some grief, but the final product always looks a little nicer for some reason.

So, I’m glad you like the notes, but—sorry—I don’t have a Word template to send you.

My plan is to update the notes each week as I deliver the next installment. So you can expect to see an updated file every Monday or so when I upload the audio. I’m co-teaching this with our Senior Pastor and I don’t know if I’ll have access to his notes on the days he presents. But the notes I write will be fully available.

Thanks for your kind comments.
