There seems to be a few reasons around to be skeptical about the whole emerging thing, but it is good to know that critiques like this are still possible.

Dave misread my comment and all was cleared up in (literally) 15minutes (Dave and I have known each other for years) The problem for me was that Cartoon Blog has a good number of permanant links and he has posted on Emerging Church... the two however are not linked (in fact at the time he had only tagged ONE post 'Emerging Church'... I was pointing out the flaws in the research method... On another occasion I have had discussions with Andrew Jones (another friend I hasten to add) about the role of 'significant voices' and 'Newbies' my view is that although alot of the EC conversation does happen in the Blogosphere we should not fall into the same trap as the traditional Church in terms of needing/electing leaders on the basis of loudest voice (most linked to Blog) highest book sale etc. or perhaps even raising leaders at all... I made the point that often the newest and least 'significant' voices have the most pertinent and radical things to say! incidentally IMHO the 'oldest' voices make too strong a link with Alt.Worship because that was their route into the conversation and some do not put enough emphasis on the Missional dna that seems to me to be a vital dimension of the ECC.
