Are lights and fog machines part of this mysterious, underground "emergent" movement? hehe. Ironically, I actually think there are many who are tired of anything related to production-based church, and they are the farthest thing from conservative! They want to meet in homes, enjoy small group Bible Study methods, big into discipleship and community outreach.

Simply dressing casual, not using a pulpit and using lights and fog machines doesn't equal emergent.

Emergent has a belief system and doctrine; it's not simply how a minister dresses or fx used.

n_david, I was being facetious in light of the blog post.
