Abstain from denominational style hierarchies and you'll be "emergent."
Become frustrated that you aren't reaching your community and you'll probably end up being "emergent" whether you like it or not.

I agree with both posts. I may not agree with PM on some issues and messages ... but I'm sure he understands the weight of stating he was following God's lead.
