Is the emergent church Sustainable?

In this seminar, Rick Bennett will give an introduction to the journey of the emerging church conversation for the past 10 years, where it is presently and its future trajectory, focusing on the sustainability of the conversation in existing church structures (and non-church structures) and its hope for the future of the church and faith.

Bio:

Rick Bennett has been a church planter in Houston and Boston, a youth minister in Richmond and Tampa and on the Executive Staff for a large nonprofit helping poor and homeless families. He blogs and spends as much time as possible with his wife and 3 kids (along with the dog). when not ministering at his church and trying to write a truly caustic novel. Oh, he did go to seminary, for what that is worth.

He has been part of Emergent Village since the beginning and is on the Coordinating Group. In the past he has served on Emergent leadership teams coordinating efforts for Cohorts and Justice. They keep him around for the gifts he brings to the events and his sarcastic comments. He thinks he knows more about movies, music and other assorted useless topics than you do.
