The Emerging Community of Believers and their Mission

St Patrick's strength may have been his "conclaved" community of believers, today's world calls many of those kind of physical communities cults. But today's technology gives us an opportunity to build a new kind of 'community'. Physical constraints are falling away into less invasive but perhaps more personal channels of communication.

We, at Shadow Hills in Lubbock, have just started a (Connections) Mission Moment, where someone with a recent opportunity to be 'Jesus Walking' outside the four walls is given a five minute pulpit on Sunday Morn. We are hoping the examples set become more and more ensamples so that at a point in time we have more folks hoping to share their 'Jesus Walking' experiences as we have wanting to make a special music presentation.

What sort of resources are able to attend to these kind of grass roots attitude adjustments which seem like they could, and dare I say ought, to be a good part the emerging church?
