CAMPOLO ON THE EMERGING CHURCH
Tony Campolo has checked in with his opinion of the emerging church movement. Funny, his view of the movement sounds a lot like the fulfillment of his vision for the church. Robert Webber -- who isn't too much like Campolo in orientation -- also sees it as the fulfillment of his ambitions for the church. We all have our lenses.

For me, the significance of the emerging church movement is not its size nor even its overall impact (unlike Campolo I see the hype as being disproportionately greater than the real impact) but that it exists and that there are Christians trying to work out what it means to follower Jesus in this era. I may not agree with some of their emphases but I can appreciate that they are struggling with the issues.
