What is "Emerging Hypocrisy"?
Westminster Theological Seminary student Arthur Boulet writes, “The emerging movement needs to give evangelicalism/fundamentalism a fair and generous reading. On the flip side, those outside of the emerging movement also need to give those within the emerging movement a fair reading. The finger pointing and caricaturing needs to stop. ...
“Both sides need to stop this ‘emerging hypocrisy’ of complaining that the other side is not representing us correctly and then turning around and returning the favor by not representing them correctly. The way to get through the seemingly growing impasse between the emerging movement and fundamentalism/evangelicalism is to treat one another and one another’s work with honesty and integrity. This does not mean always agreeing, but there are ways to disagree that are fair and honest.
“I believe that if this is done, the church will be strengthened and God will be glorified.”
Amen and amen.
