The Emerging Church

I am often asked for a concise summary of what the emerging church is all about. Scot McKnight, a professor at North Park Seminary on the north side of Chicago, recently published an article in Christianity Today that I found to be a helpful summary of the movement. This is a feat of wonder given the fact that the movement does not have a defining center, doctrinal statement, and many folks who consider themselves part of it disagree with one another.

You can read the article here, as well as the highly divided comments in response to it and things not in the article at all.
