SBC Emerging Site

I'm playing with a new weblog that can serve, at least for now, as a place for initiating contact between emerging leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention.  If you are in the SBC, are a young leader or a leader who is working to reach emerging generations, and are interested in joining the conversation about what it means to be SBC and emerging, please go there and leave a comment with some info about yourself (blog address, email, etc) so that we can get in touch. 

It's my hope that soon there will be some kind of discussion site set up for emerging leaders to discuss any number of topics together.  Until then this site will list all the SBC emerging leaders weblogs that I can find, and whatever information I can find on the conversation in the SBC.

I added the syndication link at the end of the right column.

Make me a header Joey! Hey, I asked for advice, so no cutting on me when your best advice has been "I don't like it." :)

Hey,
I am working within a modern chruch in Garland, TX and part of what I do is trying to reach out to our emerging culture. It is a struggle and it is frustrating, but it is more fulfilling that most of the other aspects of my job.

That's great to hear Bill. I encourage you to listen in and join the conversation over at emerging SBC leaders.

What do you find frustrating?

Side note for side-bar discussion: I think (and this may not be the case with you, I don't know you or this ministry) that sometimes "moderns" try to reach "postmoderns" through external changes (candles, goatees, and the rest of the stereotype). Then they become frustrated, and it eventually the work dies. Then they come back to the modern church proclaiming "I tried to be emergent, but it doesn't work. Now I'm focused on the Bible."

Again, this isn't about you necessarily Bill, you just sparked my thought on this one. Does anyone else have a thought on my theory?

Bill, good to have you around.
