Emergent church

AKMA successfully complicates the notion of the "emergent Church." Snippet:

Any singular model of liturgical normativity came into prominence by way of a long path of emergence — so picking on emergent church for its buffet liturgical practice occludes the cafeteria past that lies behind the watershed liturgical models.

Fascinating.

One of the things I like about Judaism (speaking as a non-observant Jew) is the way an original text grounds it, interpretation frees it to respond to modern and cultural differences, and a tradition of discourse guides how interpretation addresses the original text.
