"Emerging and Orthodoxy" Scot McKnight

For those of you interested in the Emerging Church Conversation and Christian orthodoxy, Scot McKnight is beginning a series this week that deals with just those issues called Emerging and Orthodoxy. The Emergent Conversation is a very diverse one. I find I am a kindred spirit with many aspects of it. One departure point for me is the cavalier, almost arrogant, dismissive attitude toward Christian orthodoxy by some (by no means all). For me, those who have gone before us in the faith are as much a part of this conversation as those of us living today. I look forward to what McKnight has to say.

Michael, I think part of the problem for many, if not most, evangelicals is that they really don't know what historic orthodoxy is; orthodoxy has been replaced by bibliolatry among the most well-meaning folks.

Amen! I think you have nailed it. I did not grow up with a firm grounding the creeds and it was studying the creeds as a young adult that helped me make the link between the Church of today and the Chruch throughout the ages. It really helped me see that we are part of a "great cloud of witnesses."

Michael,

Excellent point. Yes, they too are in this communion and conversation. Thanks.

To listen is to gain.
