For those of us who are either out of school too long to remain sharp on minutiae of philosophy, ideology and theology or who were never educated in these areas to begin with, who may also be new to the idea of emergence and are still coming to terms with understanding what emergence is, as well as what it is not, and how it will manifest in relative terms to other “movements”, is there a meaningful distinction we need to make between something like Bishop Spong’s New Reformation (I am trusting that to be reasonably accurate) and the kind of re-thinking of theology and “Christian living” that we see coming out of emergence (and specifically on sites such as this one)?
