Spoiled Brats: Reconciling the PD and EC movements.
Kevin over at Sakamuyo Christian Fellowship has written an interesting article about tension or is it conflict between the emerging church and purpose driven folks.
Spoiled Brats: Reconciling the PD and EC movements.
I have to say I an really surprised by some the negativity toward the emerging church being generated by PDC folks on the pastors.com forums. It is mostly based around the D. A. Carson criticisms.
These approaches don’t have to be mutually exclusive. They can be, if the people on either side see their approach as the ultimate way.
I’ve been questioned by one friend who can’t understand why we would use anything related to PDC like 40 days of purpose, "its too modern, programmatic and packaged".
My response you don’t have to present it that way 40 days has seemed into the culture way beyond Saddleback and people are connecting with God through it (ex the Atlanta hostage and murderer suspect) to ignore that is just being short sighted. There are some good things that have been before the emerging church.
So thanks Kevin for article.
