Emerging Church Part 4

We will soon be turning to two books which will reveal to us where emergents are coming from by two notable representatives: Brian McLaren and Rob Bell. But for today, I just want to introduce to a third member of the group who wrote the emerging church's "Response to our critics" that I mentioned in Part One- Doug Pagitt.

Doug Pagitt is pastor of a church in Minneapolis called Solomon's Porch

For a video introduction to Solomon's Porch, a church where there is "no statement of belief" and "no authority structure," where the members say that "the only thing that matters is knowing you have a friend at the end of the day" and that "I see the Bible as changing" and thinking otherwise is a "waste of time,"enjoy the following:



Now, I'm just going to direct you to some stuff from the Pyromaniac's blog. They have audio and video and commentary that is dead on.

For a take on Pagitt's defense of yoga and how it is better than the Scriptures for reducing stress go here.

For his response to questions on the afterlife go here.

Can anyone seriously view, listen, read this and see Biblical Christianity represented?
Yet Pagitt's stuff is published by "Christian" book houses and speaks at "Christian" conferences.

Where, may I ask, is our discernment?
