Emerging, Missional, Mosaic, Monastic – Next Generation Church DNA?

In a June 2008 issue of The Mennonite Magazine, author Tom Sine provides a glimpse inside the cover of his latest book release, The New Conspirators. Sine is convinced that God is doing something new through the next generation of leaders who are creating new ways to make a difference in both the world and the church. In The New Conspirators, he points out that these young activists and innovators can be best understood and articulated in at least four streams: Emerging, Missional, Mosaic and Monastic.

Even though I do not endorse all of the viewpoints embraced by Tom Sine or of the Mennonite Church USA, I had to make you aware of an article that makes great strides towards defining the various movements of God around the world among the next generation of church leaders.
The fact that there is no hidden agenda or bias on the truth about the movements, alone, makes
this article worth reading (Click Here to Read).

After reading the article give me your thoughts on this particular section:

“…many of these young activists have turned away from the influences of the religious right to embrace a more biblically progressive agenda for social transformation. They are consistently much more committed to working for social justice, racial reconciliation and caring for God’s good creation than many of the churches from which they come.”
