Emergent Church, everything the atheists want the church of christ to be: an irrelevant burbling in a corner, definitely a non overlapping magisterium.
of course the opposite of the emergent, the fundamentalists, are dead and arid, and helped spawn the emergent nonsense
Come on dude... I am curious as to the approach you would use to reach Gen Y and X in the context of our culture. You know the record industry can't even sell these kids CD's anymore because they believe that music should be available as free download.
I would reach them with the gospel message with the methods properly contextualized. Come on man, do you really call it reaching someone if we deny the cross, sin, and judgment the way these heretics do so blatantly. Does the gospel message have to be sacraficed?? A million times no!! Adapt methodology but do not change the message. You seem quite ignorant of this movement. Start by reading the Wikipeidia article before you become embarassed by defending these rank heretics.
Come on toowoombus...Let's adapt methodology but not censor the message of salvation. You have not read their books and articles. I have read dozens of them in the course of writing two artices and one book about them. Please investigate this movement that would totally redefine the message and standards of Christianity. Please!
Toowoombus, look up "Emerging Church" on Wikipedia. Then look for the critical resources. The pro-emergent resources are FULL of deceptive doublespeak. I hope you do not agree with the emergent efforts to abandon truth and morality in order to be popular with the world. I don't call that popularity any kind of successful outreach or victory. I call it defeat.
