Emerging Church/Theological Education Caucus Audio
November 18, 2005
Many have been asking about the audio to a variety of events & conversations that occured during the Emerging Church/Theological Education Caucus here at Princeton awhile ago. Below you will find links and descriptions of the audio files currently available:
WORSHIP
Opening Worship: Russell Rathbun preaching / .mp3

PANELS
#1: What Kind of Church Does “Emergent” Hope For? / .mp3
Panelists: David Evans, Bill Golderer, Russell Rathbun & Karen Ward
Questions to wrestle with:
- What common threads characterize “emergent” (or emerging) congregations?
- Is there a way around making “the Emergent Church” a (predominantly) white, middle class, male movement?
- Does the “Emergent Church” have an agenda? If so, what is it?
#2: Emergent and Global Christianity: What do we know about the emerging church’s reach globally? / .mp3
Panelists: Sathi Clarke, Stacy Johnson & Doug Pagitt
Questions to wrestle with:
- Is the emerging church a niche phenomenon?
- Where does the “emerging church” globally intersect with the emerging church conversation in the U.S.? What can we learn?
- Is the emerging church and the mission-shaped church the same thing?
- Is the emerging church an American export or a way of “doing” indigenous church?
#3: Leadership and the Emerging Church / .mp3 (coming soon)
Panelists: Liz Kaznak, Tim Keel & Pat Wilson
Questions to wrestle with:
- What is the nature of leadership in emerging congregations?
- What must “emerge” among church leaders to address an emerging generation?
- How does this differ from the kind of leadership typically valued in traditional American congregations?
#4: The Emerging Church and the Future of Theological Education / .mp3
Panelists: Bruce Birch, Pam Driesell, Jason Mack & David Wood
Questions to wrestle with:
- Is there a role for mainline theological education in the emerging church?
- Where are creative intersections presenting themselves?
- What does theological education for a “mission-shaped church” look like?
- What pitfalls await theological education that goes this route?

Great. Every seminary prof and seminary president should listen to McLaren’s lecture, “The Church Emerging & Mainline Theological Education” and be inspired that there are young people who love theology and that the best hope for the future of the church is turning a whole bunch of young people loose to try out their ideas and make mistakes.
Thanks Adam for the MP3’s.
