I was surfing the web in response to a book Im reading, "The New Christians" by Tony Jones, when I noticed via ginkworld.net that there are no Emergent Faith Communities in Nevada. Other states to be worthy of so little notice are Wyoming, Montana, New Hampshire, and Maine. We are the MOST POPULATED state to not have even ONE Emergent Church. I might recommend the Church I go to, The Rock, but I'm not sure what precisely constitutes an "Emergent" Church, seeing as how we have no official dogma or doctrine.
However, I am happy to read in Jones' book some adjectives to describe common threads in Emergent people. If you don't define yourself, your critics will do it for you. I'm glad somebody is stepping up and offering some insight.
If anybody reads this, toss me an email and let me know. Thanks.

Hi there-
I just moved to Vegas and am very interested in the emergent dialogue. Glad to see that someone here is thinking/writing about their journey here too.
My wife and I are looking around at different churches at this point. I'm looking forward to visiting The Rock and seeing if that might be where we find our fit...
Feel free to email me if you'd like to talk more or whatever: russell dot duren at gmail dot com.
Blessings-
Russell
