Doug Pagitt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doug Pagitt is an author in the Emerging Church movement and head pastor of Solomon's Porch in South Minneapolis.[1]
Doug Pagitt was born and raised in the Minneapolis area and is a graduate of Meadowbrook Elementary school (1976), North Junior High (1981), Hopkins High School (1984), Bethel College (1988 - Anthropology), and Bethel Seminary (1992 - MA in Theology). He has been the pastor of Solomon's Porch, a holistic, missional Christian community in Minneapolis, since its inception in January 2000.
Pagitt is also a Senior Fellow with Emergent Village: a generative friendship of missional church leaders around the world and a leading architect of the emergent church discussion.[citation needed] Brian McLaren told author Robert Lanham that Pagitt coined the term Emerging Church at a leadership retreat in the late 1990s.[citation needed] However, one should remain skeptical of that claim, for the term "Emergent Church" has been around since at least 1981,[2] and the term emergence, popular in philosophy, systems theory and science, has been around for decades.
Pagitt is currently running for seat 41-A of the Minnesota State Legislature.
