Devin, a new friend of mine, has a post on Patheos<\/a> about what it was like being a conservative (young, restless, Reformed) at the Wild Goose Festival.\u00a0 Definitely worth the read:<\/p>\n

The fact of the matter is that so much has been said about the Emergent Church and it\u2019s leaders that is utterly bogus<\/strong>. There has been very accurate assessments of their methodology, philosophy and hermeneutic. It can\u2019t be denied that overall they have been painted as the boogeyman and many of their critics would rather shove them out of their congregant\u2019s sights instead of really assessing what is fueling the movement. The Church is infected with slack anti-intellectualism when it comes to critiques that come from the outside. It is a tradition of men to ignore the popular philosophers of our day because they don\u2019t share our theology. We all know that much of the material is liberal theology that has been tweaked for our time in an attempt to get Jesus into places that are usually afraid of Him. While I don\u2019t line up with how this is done, I have seen them provoke more thought about the person of Christ among secular communities far more than I\u2019ve seen in any street preaching venture. There, I said it. <\/strong>[READ THE REST<\/a>]
