	abstract = {The Church Is Flat is the first significant, researched study into the ecclesiology of the emerging church movement. Research into eight congregations is put into conversation with the theology of J{\"u}rgen Moltmann, concluding with pragmatic proposals for the the practice of a truly relational ecclesiology.

Tony Jones visited eight emerging church congregations (Cedar Ridge Community Church, Pathways Church, Vintage Faith Church, Journey Church, Solomon{\textquoteright}s Porch, House of Mercy, Church of the Apostles, and Jacob{\textquoteright}s Well), facilitating interviews, focus groups, and surveys.

After interpreting the data, Jones pulls out the most significant practices of these congregations and judges them relative to the relational ecclesiology of J{\"u}rgen Moltmann. Finally, Jones proposes a way forward for the emerging church movement, and the Protestant church writ large.
