Abstract
This research uses an ethnographic approach to explore how the Zero28 and ikon community has emerged from the evangelical subculture in Northern Ireland. It links its emergence to disillusionment with the perceived shortcomings of evangelicalism, including its contribution to the Northern Ireland conflict, its focus on personal morality rather than social justice, and its failure to engage with post-modernity. It demonstrates how the community has helped to loosen oppositional evangelical identities and expand the focus of the churches beyond narrow, Northern Irish concerns, thus self-consciously playing a prophetic role. However, its contribution to the international emerging church conversation on responding theologically to post-modernity is still being worked out.
