The Emerging Conversation or Emerging Argument

I heard someone talking about the other day about Emerging church. The comment that stood out to me was if it doesen't offend it is not Emerging Enough.

As I have been engaging with the Emerging conversation one thing I have been aware of is the level of respect and understanding around the Conversation.

The terminology of today especially in Christian youth scene is often REVOLUTION every youth agency is trying to change the world. But is there a danger that our terminology can shape our process. Is there a chance that we are not going to learn from our past. As a post modern, post Christendom generation lets learn to challenge, inspire, reflect, invite.... rather than invade, conquer, instruct dare I say revolutionise.

Is there a danger that we are creating new expressions of church and mission in a new generation but carrying the same old baggage. Please lets not let the conversation turn into an argument.
