I got online about an hour ago, ready to tackle part 2 on the Emerging church topic. After starting about twenty-five different paragraphs, I just realized that I just don’t have the mental energy tonight. Tomorrow.
But before I get offline tonight, I just wanted to make this quick note: My blog’s popularity has shot through the roof in the past twenty-four hours. I watch my dashboard regularly (because it’s a good feeling to know that people actually read what you write), and I nearly dropped my jaw when I saw how many hits I’ve had today. I’ve had approximately as many hits today about this Emerging church post as I’ve had collectively this entire month. Things we can learn from this phenomenon:
- Blogging about theological ideas and principles is a somewhat Emergent-friendly trend.
- Emergents are generally pretty excited to talk about their stance on the topic. And real Emergents (as opposed to the millions of college students who simply read Blue Like Jazz, quote Donald Miller as if he’s the Jr. Holy Spirit, and have no idea what is meant by the word “emergent”), are well versed in philosophical ideas and theology. The same does not hold true for many real conservatives.
Part 2 coming tomorrow. After a Sunday afternoon nap.
