Vintage Faith: Please Don't Stereotype The Emerging Church

Dan Kimball has a post on his blog, Vintage Faith, titled Please Don't Stereotype The Emerging Church. It's very well done. He addresses the nonsensical accusation that young emergents don't believe in "absolute truth," which gets rather tiresome, only because it is a blatantly false accusation.

Kimball writes:

..."What emerging church is he possibly talking about?" In our church, we actually use the Acts passage about the Bereans as one of our staple verses about what we try to do. He says that the Bereans are commended as they used to Scripture to "test what they were taught", so why is it wrong when emerging leaders continue to do what the Bereans did? I learned from this very radio preacher in my early years in ministry that I should not just accept anyone's teaching but to constantly be looking into the Scriptures and testing everything as the Bereans did. That is what I see many emerging leaders doing, so I am not sure what is wrong with that. I will comment on his words about doctrine and mystery in the next section.

It's well worth reading.
