Update from the Faith & Order Commission
Dwight Friesen has posted an update from the recent Faith & Order Commission 50th anniversary celebration. He writes, “I was at the event representing Emergent Village (as impossible as that may be) and trying to serve as a voice for the boarder emerging movement or ‘Avant Churches’ as most of the groups represented there are historic faith traditions or denominations. I was given an opportunity to speak to my observations of the event at one of the final plenary sessions.
“I continue to be impressed with both the hospitality and the genuine interest the people I’ve been meeting from within the NCC and the more historic traditions express toward us in the emerging conversation.
“I have an ever deepening appreciation for the history of this ecumenical group and the courage that has been required for many of its participants to engage in these intrafaith dialogues, and found it striking to imagine the courage that may be required for this organize to serve the American Church in an increasing Post-Christendom, postmodern, post-denominational context.”
Jeff Kursonis and Russell Myers were also on-hand, co-facilitating a workshop titled, “Local Faith & Order, Emergent Cohorts: Possibilities for New Dialogues and Partnerships.” According to Dwight, this will eventually be published by the NCC. (Listen to Jeff talk about cohorts at the Midwest Emergent Gathering.)
