Just a different perspective to add to the “spokesperson” conversation. I didn’t know I counted as “emergent” or even what emergent really was until about six months ago when a friend told me that the way I thought of church was “emergent.” I had only read one book by a so-called spokesperson, but I came to think in what I now call “missional” and “emergent” ways because of the influence of studying Methodist history and reading accounts of American Pentecostal revivals. I just thought of it as “the way my generation would want religion.” I think there are lots of folks out there doing things we would call “emergent,” but not calling it that because they came to it through a completely different path. Perhaps we are giving too much credit to the “spokespersons”…

Speaking along these lines, Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove discussed something very similar on Sojourners recently.

The way Claiborne talks of intentionally trying to not be someone’s spokesperson makes me wonder. Does one choose to be a spokesperson, or are spokespersons deemed such by those who embrace their words? In other words, can Claiborne actually succeed in his endeavor to not be a spokesperson?

Also, I totally agree with what he said. I’ll probably start quoting him on it all the time.

As a person who is attempting to do academic research on emergence, I have to identify so-called “spokespersons.” I also have to deal a lot with taxonomies and generalizations. All of these things are somewhat unfaithful to the ideals of emerging thought. For me, the issue at hand is how to understand what the emerging church movement is. Is it actually a movement? From a sociological perspective, it certainly is. It has a specific language, certain uniformity, and even these spokespersons.

But theologically, emergence is much more like what @Dave H. describes. It exists locally. It affects communities and relationships. Emergence, in this regard, is not a movement, but an ethos. The terms “emerging” and “emergent” only serve to temporarily describe the Church’s need to constantly re-evaluate. And as far as these spokespersons go in this regard, they provide individuals in separate contexts a starting point for conversation.

I once heard Tony Jones say that writing and promoting his books was the single most profane thing that he does. In other words, it’s just a job. And I think he does it well. But just how much authority we give a person who is just doing his or her job is something that each of us must decide.
