The Emerging Church emerged in the early 1990s, and much has been written about its dreams and hopes in the UK and abroad.  Some have said it appears to be little more than a holy donut, big at the edges but nothing at its heart.  Some are strong on community and worship, but somewhat dismissive about mission.  So is the Emerging Church in the Bag?  Is the Emerging Church Dead?  This panel will seek to explore the significance of the Emerging Church.Join Ian Mobsby and other practitioners as they breathe life into the dry old bones.

Participants: Dave Tomlinson, Karen Ward, Mark Berry, Vanessa Elston, Ian Mobsby
