Emergent Meanderings Continued

I really want to like the whole Emergent Church thing. There are aspects to it that sound really cool. But, for whatever reason, it seems like a new band that is struggling to discover what type of music to play. Sure, one could wax eloquent about the numerous depictions of what the movement is about but there is still some crucial piece missing. Perhaps, it is the simple fact that I've been exposed to the whole pomo thing for years. Here in So Cal, pomo churches are just young and rocking churches. Maybe it is the corny way certain spokesholes talk about it. Everyone wants to be part of something great and this desire to make this EC thing happen could stem from that. Don't get me wrong. I really do dig a lot of the whole EC product. I just hope it emerges a bit more.
