What are Emerging’s advantages?

(Say the Jesus Creed morning and evening during Lent.)

Greetings Scot,
I was one of your students at Trinity Evang Div School… Although my leanings are not emerging/emergent, I want to be fair, honest, and even-handed as I share on the emerging/emergent movement. My questions are these:
1) Could you (or your blog responders) share what you all consider to be the strengths of the emerging/emergent movement?
2) What would you want me to share with other pastors about this movement?
Thanks for any consideration you might give to this.
