Thanks for commenting. I totally agree with what I read in your comment, though there are parts of the traditional church that are open to the growth of missional/emerging. Many groups, such as the ones in Sydney, are even dependent of it financially. Hey no probs TC. Thanks for commenting.

The latter title carries a great deal of ambiguity, referring to a movement so wide it is losing meaning. Moreover, the traditional church is so angry at the "emerging" church that it fails to engage in conversation with anyone labeled as such. Frost has clarified a component of the church culture which is more in tune with "social justice" (borrowing from you) and living out Jesus' story seven days a week. This contrasts with the Christian tradition that manifests itself in a Sunday morning theatre and not much during the rest of the week.
