The Emergent Movement Responds To Its Critics

I knew there would come a point when the emergent movement would have to respond to people who don't understand what emergent is all about and who criticize the movement, usually using strawman arguments and the like to justify their criticism. I'm sure the criticism escalated after the release of Brian McLaren's latest book "The Last Word..."

Anyway,

    I think it's sad that they have to defend themselves but they did so in a very eloquent way
    I would guess that alot of their critics haven't taken the time to read their books,articles,etc Personally I feel like I've grown tremendously in my faith through their writings I just finished Brian McClaren's last book Do I completely agree with him? .. no.. but I respect his opinions and thoughts and I always like being challenged to think in a different way
    Thanks for posting the response Adam
