Convergence, McLaren’s way
By Jeremy | August 12, 2005
I hope that recent controversies about emergence will give way to a profound new convergence – where formerly alienated people come together as never before to form Christ-centered communities in which more and more of us learn to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength … in which we learn to love our neighbors and our enemies according to the teachings of Jesus … and through which we teach others by word and example to do the same, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Toward that convergence I will continue to bend my efforts in grateful collaboration with all who dream a similar dream.Brian McLaren has generated enough press (both good and bad) in the last six months for a few lifetimes, partly because he's asking hard questions about how Churchianity interacts with the larger culture, and partly because he's comfortable offering ambiguous answers. He discusses the controversies and his own "emerging" notoriety in "Being Convergent: Part 1, 2, and 3." The preceding quote concludes part 3.
