Thanks for pointing folks to the Nightline piece. However, I didn't find it to be very informative or revealing. It suffers because they are not able to really go in-depth. For folks who are really interested in researching the emerging church, I would recommend the new book "Emerging Churches" by Eddie Gibbs and Ryan Bolger.
Shalom,

Well, maybe not the smell..don't know what that would be.
"Always looking for novel approaches"
"I'm very comfortable"
"Come to a church that feels more like Saturday night than Monday morning"
"My comfort level is higher"
"We're looking for a new moral center"
"Resembles a Grateful Dead jam"
I have to side with Mayhue, MacArthur, Dever, Gilley, Johnson, Mohler, and others on this. It's 2 Timothy 3 & 4. The issue for the Brian McLaren followers is how people feel, not whether the gospel is being preached. (Yes, I've read McLaren's books...and compared them with scripture.)
As a 30-something myself, I'm not embarrassed to say that Laodicea is what's emerging.
Hopefully the Grace Brethren have not "lost their focus", to borrow from Dr. Plaster's book.
2 Tim. 4:3 is going to happen. The emergent church certainly seems to be what that would like.
