I don't know, I'm not that interested in all that mess anymore, I threw in the UPC 3 step towel. My point is that buzzwords are attached to people and the perception of their person associated with said buzzword is more important that what that person actually believes. So I don't know why someone would attach the "emergent" buzzword to themselves.
I think he may be trying to be "cool" and wanting to be "cutting edge", but in the org that will backfire on him. Whereas, if he had not publically identified himself as "emergent" he could easily go one for years believing the exact same things, without social reprocussions.
Some have attempted to turn the church into a good ole boys club, what's new?
