Some explaining to do...

So often, so many questions get asked about the Emergent movement that don't get answered. I have been searching for a band-aid for the bleeding this is causing, and found a decent one. This article does a whole lot of explaining about the Emergent movement and the Emergent church. It talks about differences within the movement, differences between Emergent and Emerging, beliefs, practices, etc etc. Its wonderful, and its an easy read that fills in a lot of blanks. If you have general (and even some specific) questions, then take the time to read this! Let me know what you think...

This was a pretty good article in explaining what the emerging church is all about. The main problem with the article is the misconception about believing. Both mainline evagelicalism splits up what we believe and what we do, or Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy. I don't think that this is possible. Now I know this cannot neither be confirmed or refuted fully but I don't think that we can do things contrary to our beliefs. But I do agree that mainline evangelicalism overemphasises Orthodoxy and excludes (for the most part) Orthopraxy. But one critique of the emerging church for me would be the exact oppisite problem. I bleieve that they are both are so connected that they can't be spoken of seperately. But thanks for the site it was very informative.
