Graham Cray on Fresh Expressions at General Assembly

Graham Cray's excellent presentation on Fresh Expressions is online at the Church of Scotland webite. It's well worth a look.

Mapping Stuff

It would be great to get a sense of what's out there, what's going on, who with and what it looks like.

So, please, don't be shy! Share your story in the stories of hope and innovation discussion thread.

You never know who's just around the corner from you... or who might have some help and advice.

Reply To This in Discussions

Just wee tip for the discussions boards. You'll notice there are 2 'reply to this' things at the bottom of each discussion. If you click the bottom one it doesn't include the text of the last post too so if you're replying in the general flow of the discussion then that's the one you want.

You can of course reply to individual points by clicking the 'repy to this' after any post which will then include that post below yours.

I hope that makes some kind of sense???

What IS emerging church?

An often debated question, and I'm not lookinng for the definitive answer. It seems to me that there is some confusion between 'fresh expressions' which to me is about new ways of worshiping and tampering with our model of church and 'emerging church' which in my head describes completely new ways of being church which may have grown out of and draw from the existing church.

Am I way off? What do you think we're talking about?

Thanks Stewart. At my age I may be more of an observer than a contributer. But who knows; I'm still interested and concerned.

didn't mention THAT book because self-promotion is apparently very unscottish - i don't like to get ideas above my station ! one simply cannot just shout out about brilliant family members !

i am really feeling very hopeful about emerging and scotland - things happen differently here - and that is very exciting

Thanks, Stewart.
I tend to be pretty slow to contribute in this kind of forum but it will be interesting to see where it goes...

Hey there, just read your comment on Gareth's page - looks a bit like a welcome to an AA meeting... not that it's a bad thing. hmmm

Hi Stewart,

It is good to hear from you. Things here are pretty good. I really like the idea of the emerging Scotland network, it looks like it will be very useful.

All the best,

Stuart

Thanks Stewart. it will be good and I think really encouraging to hear what the Lord is doing in various peoples lives across Scotland. I am from Glasgow originally but am now based in south Aberdeen involved in a Church of Scotland NCD (church plant in ordinary language!) - invloved with the Blue Horizon Youth and family project here and now looking to see if we can do some emerging church stuff for primary school aged kids.
