Oops! Been a while

I haven't written for a while. Work got busy, etc., etc., etc. I have been thinking, however. I'm always thinking. I have what's called a melancholy personality (as opposed to sanguine, choleric, or phlegmatic) which means I think things to death. I've been thinking, specifically, about what I like and don't like about the whole emergent conversation.

I like:

the emphasis on being missional
the emphasis on being incarnational
the emphasis on social justice
the emphasis on being and doing community
the dialogue

I don't like:

the lack of diversity
the tendency toward self-righteousness
the substitution of a new "in" vocabulary for another
the tendency toward relativism.

My questions about this whole thing

I really have some questions about the whole emergent movement or conversation or thought process or communal divine inspiration. Sometimes, I think I get it and even seem to understand postmodernism. Sometimes I'm sure I don't get it at all. Sometimes I think the most audible voices are all inclusive and then sometimes I think they're only all inclusive if I'm all inclusive. Sometimes I think its about keeping all the babies in the bathwater and sometimes I think its about throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I suppose the question I have for anyone interested in the subject is, where are you?
