Which "Emergent?"

You have heard of the Emerging Church. Which of the following "emergents" are you?

• The Mergent Church--when two or more struggling congregations decide to get together and struggle in a larger setting.
• The So-urgent Church--when the congregation is in a really big hurrty to finish the worship service because kickoff is at noon.
• The Re-emergent Church--when an Emerging Church congregation decides it is not emerged enough, so they get new, more comfortable couches for worship and replace their previous praise music with something more trendy.
• The Submergent Church--when a congregation tries all the latest trends and their people keep leaving to attend the popular mega-church down the street.
• The Unmergent Church--when a congregation splits and becomes two churches.
• The Dis-emergent Church--when a congregation gets tired of sitting on couces and drinking Starbucks and decides to go back to the boring old worship services they grew up with.
