Friday Night Bible Study - Don't miss it!
Our teacher has started a new study - The Emerging Church Movement.
Last Friday he helped us to get familiar with the terms.
Here are my notes!
*The emerging Church movement is a response to Post-Modernism.
*Modernism was when people had complete faith in technology & science as the ultimate answer to everything. There was a general rejection of authority with a continual push for progress.
*Post-modernism has been growing since WW1. The general definition is that
post-modernism is indefinable, but there are 4 beliefs involved:
1. suspicion of (scientific) reason
2. rejection of individualism - embrace community
3. celebration of differences
4. lost confidence in progress
and there are 2 essential elements:
1. moral relativism - anything is morally right it if works for you
2. societal tolerance
("Tolerance is the virtue of those who don't believe anything!" G. K. Chesterton)
*globalism - everything's one, get rid of boundaries
*pluralism - the belief that all religions have the same root so none are superior, all gods are the same or take you to the same one
*secularism - religious considerations should be excluded
*urbanism - city dwellers increasing

Saturday
By the Book . . . . there is a prayer list from last night's Bible study.
We were blessed! We studied Faithfulness which included lively discussion and great sharing. The energy level was high - - rh brought her new bf for us to all meet. We drew letters from the alphabet for next week's potluck dinner. mb, cw, bw, and jw weren't there. We plan on drawing letters for them, too, if they're coming next week. We LOVE Bible Study potlucks!!!
