I agree with your assessment for the most part and especially in regards to "the watering down of Biblical truths so as not to be offensive and the progressive doctrine of inclusion", but .....here's a simple for instance having to do with the emergent church movement: UPC Pastor A wants to be relevant to today's culture and decides to go against the accepted norm and not enforce suits and ties by men who are on the platform ministering in some way. He is taking a laid back, casual in dress approach to the gathering of the saints together. Pastor B is offended that a young whippersnapper is going against tradition.
Or Pastor A doesn't see the need in the saints addressing each other as brother and sister so and so because it's not strictly taught in the Bible and it doesn't see relevant.
Is Pastor A wrong in trying to be more relevant to today's culture?
