Emergents Weblog

Emergents Weblob is a space devoted for dialog and exploration and the convergence of covenant communities, technology, personal faith, global responsibility, and leadership.

Like the countless brilliant stars that come into view only for some, we begin this weblog recognizing that our words may not be seen. Just the same our thoughts and souls exist and they do have effect on the world.

In recent spiritual literature author Alan Roxburgh writes about Emergents and Liminals. The two are not in opposition to one another, indeed they seem to be searching for the same meaning – only they are destined to approach this space from various origins. Perhaps that is true more often than not. Behavioral psychologists have shown us how very differently people behave and how when they come together a corporate culture is formed, a child is given a home, a creative energy is released. This creative energy will generate something new and unique, something with a destiny of its own. Like star charts, our journeys help us make sense of the environment in which we live.  We map our experiences, we listen intently to learn from others, and we press forward to explore – as it is in the fabric of the human consciousness to discover, enjoy, master, and enhance.

Emergent: in the process of coming into being.
The term stems from the Latin verb ‘emergere’ 
meaning – ‘arising from’.

It is our hope that in this space we will explore the potential of our emerging selves, emerging technology, our faith that is emerging, and the response-ability that covenant communities (business and faith-based alike) may embrace with determination and express with conscientious leadership.
