Of course their could be a hundred and one different emergent sub-genres that focus their traditions and theological framework on different time periods of the X-tian church, but I do think that you have missed a category here... one for our emerging brothers that are delving into the mysteries of Christ's transcendence that can be found in, say, the Anglican tradition...Giohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954754787918363651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843309465902668618.post-2433434351186339892008-03-12T11:32:00.000-04:002008-03-12T11:32:00.000-04:00hmmm...I see a lot of the emergent church also rea...hmmm...I see a lot of the emergent church also reacting to cultural stigmas as well as to the neo-conservative ethnocentric evangelical American politics of this day and age.<BR/><BR/>As postmodernist tendencies seep through the cracks of our broke ass and decrepit sense of Christianity, it seems that the emergent church seeks to seek after God in reaction to the past instead of sincerely seeking God for the purpose of seeking him alone.
