Our Christianity Matters course has been and will continue to be discussing Emergent Theology. Here is a relevant excerpt of an interview between Becky Garrison and Peter Rollins. The interview was taken from Rising From the Ashes by Garrison. This quote summarizes well what it means to be a Christian in Emergent theology.

What then does it mean to be a Christian?

Peter Rollins: It means entering into a journey of becoming one. It does not mean accepting a worldview but rather entering into a healing journey of life.. To be a Christian also means that one is committed to exploring this life through the Judeo-Christian tradition, wrestling with it, learning from it, and being transformed by it. Being a Christian means learning how to be the opening of life into the world.

(On another note, Rollins has a pretty cool website. If you want to experience some of the e-ambiance from the emerging movement, check out his site.)
