Greetings,

I’ve jumped in a couple of places here, but I’m not sure where anything is headed.  As some are introducing themselves I thought I might too.  Someone can tell me where the most current conversation is heading.  I realize there might be many conversations going on, however.

My name is Peter.  I’m a 28 year old pastor in NY.  As I come from an historic, mainline denomination we are looking at the "practicing church."  It seems to be the mainline version of the evangelical "emergent church."

I appreciate the discussions here and I am looking forward to jumping in.  From what little I know about the emergent/practicing church this is a good format to reach people.  The next step I suppose is guiding people to the relational setting where the experience of God can "emerge."

Where do we begin?
