12 (13) Tension Points in the Emerging Church

Great list. I especially encourage our modern/contemporary/church plant churches to look at #1, #9, #11 and #13: TallSkinnyKiwi: "12 Tension Points in the Emerging Church."

#9. The Teacher/Pastor and the Apostle/Prophet
Teachers and Pastors have given leadership to the church in a Christian context - where safe-guarding the sheep is the most important thing. But as the church begins to form in a post-Christian context where there are more goats than sheep, those gifted with apostolic and prophetic gifts are more equipped to point the way forward.
