Emerging Church

Yesterday Helen and I met with Joff Day and his wife Elaine. I was put in touch with them by Justin Blake. We had a great time with them and some really good conversation. Most of our talk centred around their journey into the emerging church. What they said to us was both challenging and exciting. They also spoke to us prophetically and suggested that we were at the point where we now could take a step of faith into maturity and after that point it would be inapproriate to go back. It reminded me of something Gerald Coates aid to me which at the time was rather random. "Be careful as you are further on than you think." So we are now talking about what all of this will mean for us. Is God calling us out of organised church and int a greater maturity and a very different walk with him? They also suggested that I go down to Land's End to pray and thought that God would reveal himsl;ef to me in a new way. All very exciting and a little daunting!
