Are there any alternative / emergent views on John 10:22-ff? I'm just wondering if there is any other way of looking at the whole "I and the father are one" issue, and all that is this hugely important passage of the Bible.

As per the comment, I'll spell it out. Traditionally and in most Biblical commentaries, the passage is Jesus telling those around him that he is God. To quote the ESV commentary:


  Jesus’ claim that I and the Father are one (i.e., one entity—the Gk.
  is neuter; cf. 5:17–18; 10:33–38) echoes the Shema, the basic
  confession of Judaism, whose first word in Deut. 6:4 is shema‘ (Hb.
  “hear”). Jesus’ words thus amount to a claim to deity.


What I'm interested in are other viewpoints. Anything from Panenthism (see 10:34) or otherwise (i.e. extending the idea of the Logos within Sufism). Anything from the Emergent Church group would also be great.
I believe this generally refers to the purposes of God the Father and God the Son (Jesus). Jesus was sent to do the will of the Father, so in their purpose they are one. This is similar to the reference in John 17:21. 


  "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,
  that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou
  hast sent me."


The intent is not to describe Himself as the same Being as God, but to demonstrate unity in purpose. Similar statements might be a general saying "Let us fight as one!" or a president saying "The country must come together as one." Neither infer to coming together into one physical mass, but to be unified in desire, effort, and purpose.
