Emergent and don't know it.  Wow. :-)  You know, the Disciples of Christ
have an "open" theology - "no creed but Christ" and all that (bit more
complext, but...).  If you take their approach to individual maturity
and general church polity, and combine it with a cell-based approach to
church growth you have a rough idea of where I stand.  Or, that's the
way I see things.  If that's "emergent" then hey...
