Blogs and the Emerging Church
The “Emerging Church” is a term for trendy Christian churches and various online Christian activities. Get Religion reports on a Christian publication’s list of 25 blogs that play a role in the Emerging Church (yes, GR is on the list). For a better listing of the sites with hot links, try Chuck Currie’s post on the same story (yes, Chuck Currie’s blog is on the list, too). What’s funny is at least five or six of the blogs aren’t even active anymore; some are entirely defunct.
Blog for blog, I think the Bloggernacle matches up pretty well, sort of a surprise given how much larger the Christian blogging community is. Personally, I still prefer Beliefnet’s Blog Heaven list, which also includes LDS blogs in its list of Christian blogs, a kind gesture.
Dave,
Can you define the Emerging Church? The info at Currie’s blog was insufficient.

Try the Wikipedia entry “Emerging Church.”

Well, if what they describe as emergent is the opposite of a more mainstream movement, I can see why they wanted to emerge.

Dave,
Am I the only one getting your ironic gesture, Mr. yes, DMI is on the beliefnet list too!

Thank you for pointing that out, Ronan. It sounds better when you say it.
