That makes them feel really good about themselves. Jeremy (#29),

I personally don't think Rob Bell's *Velvet Elvis* has anything to do with this satirical post about those who freak out about the "emergent/ emerging conversation." Go ahead, laugh a little. Dave,

Last week my oldest daughter was discouraged after hearing students claim to be agnostic. It seems to be "in" as a high school student to claim that you can't know anything for sure, and ridicule those who claim otherwise. e.g. A fellow high school classmate (who had recently read Velvet Elvis) doubts the existence of Hell and claims to be an agnostic. I'm not laughing. Is this blog supposed to be a joke?

There are however, signs of increasing hostility to genuinely dialoguing with this important movement, her books, and her leaders. I hope the signs of entrenchment don't have staying power... -jeremy PS-you crack me up, John!

Calvin and Cornerstone(GRTS) and many RCA and CRCs in the area seem to be open to the emerging authors. Thanks for your wit!! Bob Hey John,
