The Emerging/Emergent Church

This subject probably interests pastor-types like myself more than the average church-goer, but every once in a while someone asks me about the "Emerging Church" and what it's about. It's tough to explain because some use the term in a broad sense to mean a church style/philosophy that focuses on reaching an "emerging" younger generation, while others are referring to a more specific movement that I personally believe has fallen prey to some of postmodernism's weaknesses.

Anyway, today I ran across a terrific article by provocative Seattle pastor Mark Driscoll, who describes the issues in a wonderfully succinct way. You can read it here:
