postmodern churches
Have a look at Blind Beggar. There's a post entitled "Ten Distinctives of Postmodern Churches". I couldn't agree more! We've just had two courses at the Windermere Centre on and Emerging Church and Multimedia Worship. I found that the stuff in the latter that I resonated most with was the material that engaged with the tradition - the Celtic and Latin traditions, for example. Makes me glad I'm part of today's church and not that of 20 years ago!

but were there not postmodern churches 20 years ago? 50? longer? I agree with many of the statements in the 'top 10': using narrative passages, being open to spirituality, using technology, liveing and worshipping as a community - but I have seen all these things in many different churches over the years (whether the latest technology was considered to be a microphone and an electric guitar or whether the presence of the Holy Spirit was focussed on using Gregorian chanting!) Equally, I have seen churches in which NONE of these have been present so, a question: how many of the 10 do you have to achieve> is there a minimum number (is it 10!)? and, if you could have only one, which one would you consider to be the most important?
