Though the emergent church was once viewed as a fringe movement with little to offer established congregations, it is now seen as one of the central driving forces shaping the future of postmodern Christianity in North America. As an increasing number of mainline communities wonder how emergence Christianity influences their own structures and practices, this book brings together the perspectives of several of the most prominent Hyphenated Christians, i.e. those with one foot in the emergent conversation and the other foot in the mainline church: Presbymergents, Anglimergents, Luthermergents, Methomergents, and so on. With a passion for both mainline traditions and emergence Christianity, Hyphenateds offer a vibrant and contagious vision of the ways in which the church might undergo the transformation necessary to faithfully embody the love of Christ in the midst of an ever-changing postmodern world.
