What is the Difference between Missional and Emerging Churches?
Allelon just posted a video where Alan Roxburgh interviews me. In this clip, Alan asks me about the missional church, the emerging church, and about the differences between the two. I describe how I teach missional church material, and I also tell a bit of my story as well — how I became involved in the missional conversation.

Ahh, it runs 29:50, bro. It’s just so good that it only feels like 13 minutes.

thanks. it is really helpful to understand the difference and similarity between missional church and emerging church.
as i am a pastor in Japan, i think ideas of emerging churches fit better than, so called, church growth how-to-techniques.

Dr. Bolger,
I just viewed the video. Are there any resources or materials that you would suggest for better understanding modernity and what it did to “them” (me). You stated that this was important, but I was wondering if you knew of anything that would be helpful for understanding what you discussed in your interview (can’t make it out to Fuller
)

I feel that I have personally been learning about emerging/missional for so long, but your interview was so defining and helpful! Thanks so much.

Great job Ryan! I will be using this video as an entry point for the many who are fairly new to or even ignorant of the missional conversation. Naturally I linked to it.
