Forerunners of The Great Emergence
2 quick observations about the day…
1) The Emergent conversation is providing an opportunity to those whom no one else will listen (because they just don’t fit) to be heard and embraced.
2) A unifying characteristic of Emergent type people is their distrust of any version of Christian faith that leaves little or no room for complexity and paradox. They would rather be shunned than forced to conform.

1Sounds like self-congratulation and a martyr complex are also unifying characteristics. Know what I mean?

2I suppose you could take it that way, but after rubbing shoulders with these folks for a few days – hearing their hearts and their stories, I am more inclined toward an attitude of grace. I am sad that their experience with the body of Christ hasn’t been one primarily marked by love and patience.
