Viking-Horns-HelmetEveryone knows that Vikings had horns. But actually they didn’t. “The Christian monks considered the Vikings to be devils from hell, which is why the myth of the horns arose and spread across the world.” Searching for the Real Vikings

Do we have 21st Century ‘monks’ putting horns on the heads of our emerging church leaders?

Here are a few good reads on emerging church from USA and UK leaders who really don’t have horns: Scot McKnight, Greg Austin, Doug Pagitt, George Lings, Alan Roxburgh.
