The Emerging Church and Obama
2008 March 2
A couple of links: the first related to evangelicals, the emerging church, abortion, and Obama; the second a great review of the forthcoming book Why We’re Not Emergent.
Evangelicals for Obama? (Between Two Worlds)
Why We’re Not Emergent (By Two Guys Who Should Be) (9Marks)
Check back tomorrow or Tuesday for the next installment in the Soul Sisters series.

Thanks for these links. I’ve been thinking a lot about the emergent politics viz a vie Obama and fetal rights, so I’m looking forward to reading these.
Yeah, thanks for the links! Nice blog.
So interesting that you brought this up. I’ve been wondering/reading about the emergent church some after getting on a series of blogs. (Surfing. That I was.) Its so interesting…and I find it scary. sad. how else do I say it? I’m still learning about it. I think the church needs to become aware, because whether we identify it as emergent/emerging or not…its creeping in…steady and sure.
I found this interesting-

Why read someone else’s commentary on Barack Obama, when you can go right to the source at http://www.barackobama.com?
The blog regarding “Evangelicals for Obama? is misleading and one-sided. The author writes from one evangelical perspective. The blog, like many, is based on a false premise: that evangelicals are alike in their values. Evangelicals are actually a very diverse bunch. That blog only represents one particular piece of the pie. And I don’t agree.
