A Different Perspective - Critique within the emerging church
I really like Alan Hartung’s post where he Critiques the emerging church - no wait a moment - he’s not having a go at ‘THE’ emerging church as a movement, he’s doing the responsible thing and writing on a more personal level. I think its healthy for us to be doing this type of reflecting and am looking forward to taking a bit more time to work through what he’s goto to say in the next few days…
‘I’ve noticed a call lately, by several bloggers and others, for those within the emerging church to offer up a kind of self-critique. I think this is valuable work that needs to be done.
But it is also a difficult task. Because the emerging church encompasses so many different traditions, styles, and structures, there could be a tendency to critique what the other guys in the movement are doing. I want to steer clear of that.
So I only want to speak on things I’ve noticed in my own life and participation with groups of followers who are really trying to do something different…..’
