The facts don't change but because they are added to the Wikipedia version “is truer because more people have a hand in editing it. ”ver the last decade the emergent church has grown as more people who hadn't found what they wanted in traditional Christian churches found each other. “By 2001 we had formed an organization around our friendship known as Emergent as a means of inviting more people into the conversation” reads the history of Emergent Village. “As time passed others joined the friendship and the friendship began generating things like books events Web sites blogs and cohorts… “The Encyclopedia Britannica has what is thought to be the authoritative version of say the Vietnam War” Jones says. “n Wikipedia the authoritative version of that war is a constantly evolving entry that gets longer every day” as people add their own experiences and analysis of the war.
