a conservative critique of the emerging church

D. A. Carson who is one of the most respected Conservative evangelical scholars and one of my former teachers, has recently offered the following criticism of the "emerging church."  In Dr. Carson's clear, and at times, biting comments, he raises some thoughtful questions.  I expect the avant-church will hear more and more criticism like this over the coming years.

Andrew Jones has a useful response.

6 - Nodes and Hubs? I don't get it. Can't you just speak plain, informative english?
I clicked on a few of these links, and found nothing but rubbish, and morally
confuses "Christians" blogging in fits of egomania.

Is this something you are promoting, or is this an example of the Emergent Church
in action -- a sort of showcase? (Comment this)

7 - This is a great bit, thank you very much! At the moment I am writing an essay on the Emergent church and this helped a lot. D.A. Carson is a great theologian! (Comment this)
