So some scholars are calling our era, our gift of time on a earth 'The Great Emergence.'
What that means is yet to be fully known, but we all seem to know that change is not only needed, but coming. I've stumbled on some great articles about this lately (here and here) and wanted to share this quote.
"The duty, challenge, joy, and excitement of the church and for the Christians who compose her, then, is in discovering what it means to believe that the kingdom of God is within one and in understanding that one is thereby a pulsating, vibrating bit in a much grander network. Neither established human authority nor scholarly or priestly discernment alone can lead, because, being human, both are trapped in space/time and thereby prevented from a perspective of total understanding. Rather, it is how the message runs back and forth, over and about, the hubs of the network that it is tried and amended and tempered into wisdom and right action for effecting God’s will." - Phyllis Tickle
