What does all this mean? What's an Anglimergent? What is emergent? Here's some resources to facilitate the conversation.
Emergent: In English, the word “emergent” is normally an adjective meaning coming into view, arising from, occurring unexpectedly, requiring immediate action (hence its relation to “emergency”), characterized by evolutionary emergence, or crossing a boundary (as between water and air). All of these meanings resonate with the spirit and vision of Emergent Village. In other languages, names for regional networks will be chosen with similarly evocative meanings.
Missional: A term describing the belief that the call of the gospel is an outward, apostolic call into the world.
