Emerging Church
Posted by: Roger Saner
The next Connect is at John's place on Thursday, August 10th, looking at a series on the Emerging Church by Brian McLaren. Gavin sent this link saying, "Looking at the proposed topic at hand, for those that would be interested in a biblical counter-view to McClaren and this movement, here is a well-worked response by DA Carson..."
A few thoughts on this:
- Criticism of the emerging church is nothing new; there are plenty anti- sites and articles, but Carson's is the first book
- Carson wrote his book without visiting an emerging church or speaking with a single emerging church leader. Not that he's necessarily wrong in his analysis, but these are questions others have correctly raised.
- A response to Carson's book is here.
- The official Emergent response is here
Comments invited here!

Also important to note is that the criticisms levelled by Carson are aimed at the emerging church in the States. Some of these are valid for emerging churches in other parts of the world; but many are not.
