		<description><![CDATA[It is easy to parody another religion, and neopaganism is a parodist’s delight. One can easily brand its ritual as primitive or just plain weird. Yet serious apologetics requires that one exercise a hermeneutic of respect in the attempt to understand another faith. St Paul obviously spent time with the Athenians, reading their poets and watching people at worship before daring to address them. [1] Only in this way can Christians begin to dialogue with pagans. [2] We need to put aside fifteen hundred years of offhanded dismissal and listen to pagans as having something intellectually serious and spiritually viable to say. This does not mean agreeing with them but having enough respect to listen and learn.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, many evangelical shepherds, who have passed from a prophetic to a professional model of ministry too readily welcome wolves into God’s flock if those wolves are decked out in the latest, trendiest garb.  The cutting-edge heresy that is being welcomed by many Evangelicals today is known as the Emerging Church movement.  While many participants in this movement undoubtedly know and love Christ, and while many of their criticisms of evangelical tendencies are well founded, their concessions to relativism inevitably lead them downward to serious doctrinal and moral deviations that they bring into the household of God.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just as there is diversity in postmodernism at large there is diversity in the Emerging Church movement and there are many things within it that are in themselves good.  To isolate the essence of emergent we will disregard the diverse elements they do not necessarily hold in common with each other. Emergents differ on many peripheral theological and practical issues.  Thus, these issues do not help define the movement in spite of their being a real part of the movement. We will also disregard those elements emergents do hold in common with Evangelicals outside of the movement. Emergents share many things with non-emergents such as a belief in contextualization, caring for the needy, friendship evangelism, and fellowship.  Consequently, these commendable elements are not part of the distinctive essence of emergent regardless of the legitimate place they have in the movement.  This leaves us with the distinctive teachings and goals elaborated below.  ]]></description>
