Somehow, I’ve spent all evening reading about the Emergent Church movement. I blame it on Marla who linked to Annie who linked to this.
“Third, granted that the Emergent Church movement is driven by its perception of widespread cultural changes, its own proposals for the way ahead must be assessed for their biblical fidelity. In other words, we must not only try to evaluate the accuracy of the Emergent Church’s cultural analysis, but also the extent to which its proposals spring from, or can at least be squared with, the Scriptures. To put the matter differently: Is there at least some danger that what is being advocated is not so much a new kind of Christian in a new Emergent Church, but a church that is so submerging itself in the culture that it risks hopeless compromise?”
Even to ask the question will strike some as impertinence at best, or a tired appeal to the old-fashioned at worst.- The Emerging Church, by D. A. Carson
Which somehow lead me to:
* Emergents and Modern Reformeds Should Get Together
* A discussion between Micahel Horton and Andrew Jones concerning the Emergent Church.
I told you I wanted to learn more about the Emergent Church… now I need to read more about that and Modern Reformation.
God willin’ and the creek don’t rise, I’ll get to go back to school next fall.
