Emerging, Emergent, & Missional

Dave Dunbar, President of Biblical Seminary, goes on record with a helpful piece regarding distinctions between the terms emerging, emergent, & missional (pdf).

Dave's piece prompted Scot McKnight to ask his readers to weigh in.

I've commented on the emerging church/emergent distinction in a number of places:

• are there emerging church shibboleths?
  
  
• resonances with the emerging church
  
  
• the emerging church is protean
  
  
• tony jones on the emerging/emergent distinction
  
  
• toward an emerging church primer
  
  
• history of the emerging church and emergent
  
  
• is the distinction between the emerging church and emergent obscurantist?
