MINNEAPOLIS – Curious about the world in which we live and informed by the emerging church conversation, author Nathan C.P. Frambach asks, "What does it mean to be the church as we live-not as we think or remember or long for, but as we live God's mission today?" In his book, Emerging Ministry: Being Church Today, Frambach suggests that being church today will look more like a local kiosk than a big-box chain. It will be characterized by the diffusion of indigenous leadership that is always on mission-incarnational, mobile, agile, and culturally authentic. And-it will be birthed by the Spirit of God. He speaks directly to the concerns of twenty-first century Christians who wonder about the church's relevance and worry about disconnect in their own lives between Sunday and Monday faith. Emerging Church: Being Church Today includes an extensive list of additional resources and questions for reflection/discussion following each chapter. Contents Nathan C.P. Frambach is Professor of Youth, Culture & Mission at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa. He has published articles on ecclesiology and missiology and has spoken on these themes in various venues including ELCA synod assemblies and theological conferences.
