Emergent Baptists Getting Organized
Zach Roberts, of the Dogwood Abbey in Greensboro, NC, launched an “Emergent Baptist Network” group on Facebook back in March, but they somehow escaped notice in our earlier list of -Mergent groups. Well, there’s now a Baptimergent blog, which states: “We are Baptists, but we are dreaming of new ways of living that identity. Something more kingdom-of-God now, rather than later. Something with a lot more room for others, be they Christian or not. Something more than church on Sunday and Wednesday night. Something that hasn’t been co-opted by a political agenda, but still maintains its prophetic edge.”
Zach writes, “The goal with this blog is to expand our network of friends to those who have not yet forayed into the social network called Facebook. Plus this gives us another creative outlet for conversation.”
There are also rumors of a Baptimergent book in the works … Presbymergents, Anglimergents, and other -Mergent groups have now been put on notice: Baptimergents may soon leapfrog you by becoming the first to publish!

Thanks for the heads up. The other day I was feeling kind of lonely as a Baptist on the run with this whole emerging church conversation. Why should the mainliners have all of the fun???
