somanorth - Emerging or Emergent?

As a leader of somanorth, the EMERGING congregation of Scottsdale Bible Church, I believe it's important to differentiate it from the Emergent Village, which has often characterized the theology of the emerging movement in the Church. I would align myself with this article from Brett Kunkle of Stand to Reason. He delivered it at the Evangelical Theological Society's Annual Meeting last week. It's written very well and it's relatively short considering the amount of information that floods in about the Emerging/Emergent movement.

Last year I wrote a Wikipedia stub about somanorth. It also differentiates us from the theology communicated by the Emergent Village.

In sum, even though we're "emerging," we're not following the vexing and perhaps unorthodox views of the Emergent Village and its representatives.
