Church and mission 12/2-Pentecostal and emerging?
Are there any churches that are truly Pentecostal and emerging? Is that an oxymoron? In class we talked about how the participatory aspect of Pentecostalism is similar to the Emerging church but it is definitely not the same. There is way more high volume expression in a Pentecostal church. I think the emerging Church demographic is mostly white and they definitely would not express in the same way as most Pentecostal churches which are comprised of mainly non white ethnicities. I don't know what do you think. Is it possible to be Pentecostal and emerging?

This is interesting. I'm sure it's possible to be Pentecostal and emerging, but the blend would likely be quite different from traditional Pentecostalism and from traditional (if you can use that term) emerging churches. It would be a whole different animal, like "Pentemerging" or something.
