Sweet thoughts on the emerging church

Are the glory days over? Leonard Sweet speaks out on the emerging church. . .

The emerging church has become another form of social gospel. And the problem with every social gospel is that it becomes all social and no gospel. All social justice and no social gospel. It is embarrassing that evangelicals have discovered and embraced liberation theology after it destroyed the main line, old line, side line, off line, flat line church.

Leonard Sweet

Is he talking about “Emergent” or “emerging” or both? Or about what Ed Stetzer calls the “revisionist” stream of the emerging church?

Does it really matter?
