John Hammett has issued a paper critiquing the emerging church, and it’s stirred up a blogstorm. Sivin Kit’s post, Emergent Ripples, and Alan Hartung’s post, Defining and Defending the Emerging Church take a stab at outlining some of the conversation and tossing in a few comments. The main blog entries come from the UK…

Andrew Jones:

• Emerging Church Hammering – Intro
• Emerging Church Hammering 1.0 [updated]
• Emerging Church Hammering 2.0

Jason Clark:

• Assessment of Emerging Church : John Hammett
• Assessment of the Emerging Church – Part II

My problem at the moment is I haven’t read the source document yet (see first link above) so I’m going to resist the urge to comment at this point… even though being better informed first doesn’t always change my opinion! ;^)
