( i can say this as i was raised in the mormon church..first hand knowledge) but then i think about how many conservative christian churches that i have encountered or been involved with that seem to be saying the same thing: "absolute truth is our truth!" how relativistic is that...</p><p>As i recall, Jesus said "I am the Truth" so that should clear things up...<br>...my hand is raised and i am definitely emerging...(whether or not that makes me part of the "emergent church people" well, i guess i need to find out how to get a membership card...(read very tongue in cheek;)</p><p>seemsto me, that we are either back at the translation and commentary arguement: who has authority in exegesis, what hermeneutic is being used to interpret the text, and who gets to decide these questions, or we agree that as we read and interpret we keep ever before us that we must enter into relational Truth that is Emmanuel.</p>susieSun, 17 Apr 2005 22:50:20 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2005/some-people-want-to-know/#comment-2184788<p>I see that hand!

Maybe combine that with daily reading from the Financial Times or the Wall Street Journal.</p><p>2. Define "emerging church". And I am not just saying that to be snarky. It seems to me that within the emerging church there are people all along the spectrum, all of whom have various notions of what the words "truth" or "moral absolutes" might mean.</p>willSun, 17 Apr 2005 07:20:45 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2005/some-people-want-to-know/#comment-2184786<p>sounds absolutely true to me - do you see my hand?</p>andrew jonesSat, 16 Apr 2005 03:57:43 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2005/some-people-want-to-know/#comment-2184785<p>I have used <a href="http://hoovers.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="hoovers.com">hoovers.com</a> to find out about corporations I try to sell to.
