Tickle calls the current era \u201cthe Great Emergence.\u201d She likens the changes we are witnessing throughout both culture and the church to a giant rummage sale in which the church cleans out its attic and starts fresh. Each upheaval, she says, brings about a new and more vital form of Christianity, but it also disrupts the dominant expression of Christianity. In an interview with Covenant Companion features editor Cathy Norman Peterson, Tickle discusses how she envisions this change impacting denominations such as the Evangelical Covenant Church.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/uploads\/Vl\/rD\/VlrDEvvYsH7b2t9SbxmQAg\/Tickle.jpg"}
