"The emerging Church will not choose up sides in such a fashion. Rather, it will affirm what is valuable in each emphasis, bringing together the most helpful of the old and the best of the new, blending the dynamic of a personal Gospel with the compassion of social concern."
Osborne, Larson, The Emerging Church (1970), p10
