I am joined by Aaron Flores, who recently published his Master's thesis, "An Exploration of the Emerging Church in the United States," on the internet. Aaron speaks about his research on 200 emerging churches. At his blog, the Voiz, he uses videocasts to look back at his faith journey via pentecostal and Catholic routes. He talks about how Canvas church relates to Orange County, California. The Southern California Cohort that Aaron co-directs recently hosted Ryan Bolger, who compared emerging churches in the United States and Britain. We briefly discuss the relevance of "network" as a feature of emerging churches, using a diagram from Steve Collins' blog, Small Ritual.
