thank you so much for your insights last night, and your willingness to be bold in speaking potentially unsettling, uncomfortable, maybe even unorthodox truths. yourself, wayne and scott really helped me to get a broader sense of what emergence is about in the real world, not just on the internet.
i’m the guy who isn’t a seminary student who spoke up near the end, so it wasn’t me who’s been criticizing the over-intellectualism that emergence can slip into here on your blog, as i only just found it this morning :)

thanks again,

It crystallizes some stuff for me. In a broader sense, i am wondering if we might consider the emergent movement as post-fundamentalist. I know that everything that is cool these days is "post" but if the shoe fits...<br/><br/>That is, i think that the Evangelicalism i grew up with was quite fundamentalist. Though such erudite thinkers as Carl Henry claimed Evangelicals were NOT fundamentalists, the proof is the the pudding. <br/><br/>I think many emergent thinkers and practitioners are working towards how to overcome the negative and entrenched dualisms that you mention, as well as others. I see this in Clapp's Peculiar People, Newbigin and others. <br/><br/>Do you know of anyone who makes an extended study of this challenge/<br/>opportunity? David.

Do you know of anyone who makes an extended study of this challenge/
opportunity?
