Chris Armstrong summarizes a recent talk from Anthony Bradley on the Emerging Church:
If Emergent Church is “done” . . . in the circles I’m in, the critics are still criticizing the Emergent, but it’s also that the ideas of the movement are all over the place. Anthony: it’s the ripples now. The initial splash is done. Same with postmodernism, social gospel, etc. We’re definitely dealing with the ripples. But this is not the Next Big Thing for seminaries to deal with. Doesn’t mean that the residuals are not still affecting people. There are some new issues now we need to wrestle with.

I would have to write my own book in order to respond to this "Emerging Church" article.
The one outstanding negative view of Religion in my opinion is the Evangelist preaching, with the collection plate in hand, to thousands of followers in the audience.
The original decision to allow Churches to be tax free, was directed to small church gatherings. How this got out of control is beyond me.
What can be done about it, who knows???
