Emerging questions for Maggi Dawn In my previous entry I asked for opinions about the so-called Emerging Church. Of the handful of responses I received, the first was overwhelmingly negative, to the effect that the Emerging Church was just the same old conservative evangelicalism dressed up in a new garb. The criticism was offered with the caveat that perhaps things were different on the British side of the Atlantic.
With that in mind, I'd like to ask Maggi Dawn a couple of questions, and Maggi, I'd be grateful for a response either here or on your own blog. I'm asking you because a) unless I misread you, you identify yourself as a theological liberal, b) you seem to be happy considering yourself, or at least being considered by others, a part of the Emerging Church, and c) you are British-based. My questions are these:
1. How do you think the Emerging movement in Britain, insofar as it can be called a movement, differs from that in the US, if at all?
2. To what extent is the Emerging Church simply a rehash of the same old conservative evangelicalism?
