Phyllis Tickle on “The Great Emergence”: Homebrewed Christianity ep.31

By Tripp Fuller • Nov 7th, 2008 • Category: church history, emergent, podcast, pomo

Last week was a trip to the past on the Reformation Day podcast and this week we look to the future with Phyllis Tickle as we discuss The Great Emergence.  In the past I blogged about the book and now you get to listen in on Phyllis and I talking about it.  If you haven’t heard about the upcoming event this December, check it out, it is sure to be a formative moment for the emerging church movement here in the USA.

  7. [...] Phyllis Tickle pointed out that ‘Emergence‘ is not simply something going on in the church, but in fact it is taking place everywhere. Emergence, as a concept, first emerged in science and today it has the largest consensus among the scientific community (contra: neo-darwinism, Dawkins…). Philip Clayton, a philosopher of science and Christian theologian is making a plea for dialogue with the Emerging Church Movement in hopes that his work in scientific emergence can enliven the theological and ecclesiological conversation at an Emergent Village Cohort near you. Tony Jones has made the first response and I hope that the rest of the emergent ‘conversation’ does too. Everyone is of course invited to the upcoming event weekend and should you come Friday night for the ‘Transforming the Church’ conversation you are also welcome to join Philip, Tony, and some of the other theologians for a Theo-Pub Transforming Theology Cohort afterward. If the meaning of ‘emergence’ in the scientific conversation intrigues you check out Philip giving a power-packed 5 minute intro. Hopefully this will inspire your own transformative theological reflection and practice. When it does, share your thoughts. [...]
