Man, this guy's my new hero! I think the whole Emergent thing's got some good points to consider but, overall, it might turn out to be just another Christianity Lite. Sometimes it looks to me like white, middle class guilt transposed to evangelicalism. They can feel good about saving the world as they sit at Starbucks with their wi-fi connected laptops sipping their shade-grown-ecological-just-fair-wage coffee while putting a One Campaign or Save Darfur banner across their blog. Well, isn't the road to hell paved with good intentions?

That's my Quote of the Day!
The Emerging church hasn't really defined itself yet. The folks with Emergent Village have gotten into some significant theological error so many of the original Emerging leaders are distancing themselves from Brian McLauren and those like him. It's yet to be seen how it will all shake out.
Go ahead and mess with the methods of ministry, just don't start tweaking your theology to widen the road to Jesus. It's a narrow road. He made it that way.
I'm predicting we will end up with a small handful of churches that get it right, and a LOT that don't. It's just easier to get it wrong!
