Hope that helps. If you wnat more, send me an email. We've compiled a read on the topic that I'd be glad to send you ...it's a precursor to an eventual editred book on the topic.

The article was very thought provoking to me and I am very interested in how William Carey et al brought back effective appostolic ecclesiology, for all of this is very new to me. Hope you add more to the above article soon. THanX!

I think you're right, David, that some of what is resulting could gravitate toward an apostolic structure and some will gravitate toward a congregational structure while many of the qualitative aspects could be the same and hence, qualify for the "emerging" description. Which way they move structurally is probably rooted in giftedness, the nature of leadership, sense of calling, and perhaps context. Both, however, could experience some of the same qualitative characteristics that folks like Bolger and Gibbs attribute to "emerging" churches such as the commitment to wholistic community that you refer to.

If one order lives out the apostalic call while another to shepard a local people, might they both do so in a way that could be labled in an "emergent"? Perhaps "emergent" is more of a posture or foundation from which the living out of a given communal call happens. Whether apostolic orders or local congregations it seems that the way one lives out their faith in wholistic community might really be the heartbeat of what is emerging.
