The "Uncertain" Emergent Movement

Here's a great article on the mindset of the Emergent Movement.

The main purpose in Emergent thought is to question everything, while offering no definitive answer (they might word it a little differently, but that's the gist). Sometimes their questions are really good questions! Questions that the church needs to think long and hard about. But too often, Emergent leaders make a job only out of questioning and doubting long-held evangelical beliefs and such.

This article talks about how they have "canonized" uncertainty, and it is helpful in understanding where the movement is coming from, and where it is going (which according to the article is: nowhere).

They probably would not appreciate your phraseology, I think you got the gest of emergent types pretty well. Good Post.
