| Итог: | As the contemporary discussion on the "Emerging Church" (ECC) conversation shows, there is a shift in the understanding of Christian religion. (In its historical context, this is strongly related to Evangelism.) On closer examination, the ECC actually boils down to a transformation of Christian religion - a version of an experienced-based, postmodern religiosity. The engine of this transformation is the clarification of the religious identity. The ECC can be described as a movement that serves as a transition for the protagonists in order to shape their individual processes of resistance as well as the processes of disentanglement in regards to their own religious orientation. Therefore, the discussion represents an "alternative space," which is best seen in five motifs: the change of religious alignment; the significance of community; specific theological themes and strategies; dealing with different "contexts" in the conversation; and the emphasis of values, attitudes, and practices. On the one hand, the conversation can be described as a "biotope of innovation." On the other hand, protagonists handle intellectual doubt, their lack of religious experience, the lack of moral authority of their previous religious community, and theological uncertainties with courage and a certain nonchalance, which must be addressed critically. |
