The Future of the Emerging ChurchAre we experiencing the next Reformation of Christianity?Conversations about the future of the emerging church can be overheard at conferences, seminaries, chat rooms, or anywhere church leaders congregate. Does the movement have legs? Does it represent a passing trend or a new Reformation? Not long ago we sat down with author/scholar/editor Phyllis Tickle to discuss the subject. Tickle, a feisty Episcopalian from Tennessee with an intellect matched only by her sense of humor, has served as a religion editor for Publishers Weekly and has written over two dozen books. Her three-volume prayer manual, The Divine Hours, has renewed the discipline of fixed-hour prayer for Christians in many traditions.

The Future of the Emerging Church
This thoughtful (and short) analysis of the church appeared in Leadership: Out of Ur recently and I think it's worth a read-- especially her comment that Western society goes through 500 year cycles-- very interesting!
