thanks for the link. i had some “over-the-top” emergent responses to my take. i wonder if doug pagitt will find my analysis of his church's enneagram and yoga stuff? i'm sure he won't enjoy it though.

That respectful critique is something I appreciate about this website. So though I hesitate to demean certain Christian groups, I will continue to critique them in order that we can all be stronger and participate in God's kingdom together.

After reading the post you linked to, my initial perceptions are seriously in doubt. At the very least, I am conflicted. I cannot imagine demeaning anyone willing to have a conversation, or any group seeking to engage the culture around them with the gospel of Christ. I will leave aside the name-calling and vitriol for now. But I will take issue with this statement that Mr. TenNaple makes of Jesus, “Did he open a dialogue and have a conversation? No.” I tend to get a different view when I read John 3 & 4.

The Reformation was incredibly damaging, but incredibly necessary. My question is more to the point of would a split actually happen in emergent?

Church splits are usually damaging to all involved.

I haven't read your book, but it is on my summer reading list. But as far as pimping your book, I can post a link to it. And I'll even point towards your next book in September that looks interesting on preaching.

But, if it is going to go on you could at least pimp my book Reimagining Spiritual formation.
And if you tell me you have not read it, well…
