I know this definition isn't the sum total, but when I've heard 'emergent' in a critical tone of voice, it has referred to the churches who are going more casual. Among some of the characteristics would be - no suits, no pulpit, maybe the service is held in a coffee shop. People sit around and have Bible studies, instead of a traditional church service.
Basically anything non-traditional.
The word 'relevant' is usually thrown in there in a derisive tone of voice, too.

Re: Anyone know about a new group?
I belive that what they, (the new group), are advocating is holding to the old paths, ie doctrine, salvation, and holiness.
They are supposed to meet in Spells church in La Rouge! (baton rouge)
Sounds to me like another group trying to make a splash!
Will keep informed!

Re: Anyone know about a new group?
Interesting. NW uses cutting edge technology in his church, has a daily video program, and probably has been seen with his shirt untucked.

Another of their big issues with the emergent church is meeting in homes.

Why don't they just sign WeDeclare?
or meet in Detroit?
Is everyone welcome?
Are they going to examine the old paths to make sure the old paths are the right paths? Or are they going to hold on to traditions blindly?

They may have to redraw some lines.

My point is there must be a deeper, more ominous threat than some of these innocuous activities which have been cited. These men must be considering there to be a spiritual danger much more relevant to the undermining of the Gospel than untucked shirts, casual dress and meeting in homes.

Re: Anyone know about a new group?
Is this what is being dubbed Hope Corps? Are you mixing up the "emergent" branding with the mission of Hope Corps? I've heard a little about this.

Re: Anyone know about a new group?
To them it's those who likely don't believe fully 3-step (and have fellowship otherwise), want to do away with their decades-old tradition of slicking up on Sunday nights (and that still have Sunday night services), believe dogmatically in uncut hair, no make-up, no jewelry (except the fancy watches they exchange) and no Hollywood (tv or movies).
They desire to etch that into stone. Create a movement -err division -- out of it.
More power to them. What emergents are they "fighting" in the WPF though?
