It would be good if we could carry on a directed discussion on the The Emergent Church as it is put forward at this referenced site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergent_ch...
.
It starts out with:
.
"The emerging church (also known as the emerging church movement) is a controversial[1] 21st-century Protestant Christian movement whose participants seek to engage postmodern people, especially the unchurched and post-churched. To accomplish this, "emerging Christians" (also known as "emergents") deconstruct and reconstruct Christian beliefs, standards, and methods to accommodate postmodern culture. This accommodation is found largely in this movement's embrace of postmodernism's postfoundational epistemology, and pluralistic approach to religion and spirituality. Proponents of this movement call it a "conversation" to emphasize its developing and decentralized nature as well as its emphasis on interfaith dialog rather than verbal evangelism. The predominantly young participants in this movement prefer narrative presentations drawn from their own experiences and biblical narratives over propositional, Bible exposition. Emergents echo the postmodern rejection of absolutes and metanarratives. They emphasize the subjective over the objective since postmodern epistemology is ultimately destructive of certainty in objective propositions."

I recommend reading the entire article to get a better and simplified grasp of the issues. The intro paragraph is too complicated - for me.

You probably also read the Caveat in the beginning.

I agree and that's why I requested that it be a discussion directed at the information at the link.

Would you think that, if Jesus were alive today, he'd be considered an 'emergent'?

Gotta go. I'll be back later.
