The Emergent Church : Self-Identity Construction through Conversation
Abstract
Our research looks at a Christian movement called the "Emergent" or "Emerging" Church and the identity they construct of themselves through books and online writings such as blogs. In the spirit of post-modernism, the Emergent Church is
difficult to define, but there are important factors that each representation of the Emergent Church has in common: an embrace of post-modern ideas; a distrust of hierarchies; a tendency towards spiritualism rather than organized religion; and, at the core of our research, an important emphasis on "conversation."
