I really think churches would do well to incorporate more true fellowship among the believers and love for unbelievers. And that is something that I see as a strong point, although misguided in its application, in the emergent church.

Yes I know what your are saying. McLaren and other emergent writers do bring up some good things like this, BUT then he says other things that force a true, discerning Christian to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Do you see how he is a wolf in sheeps clothing?. Your example of some of the "good" of the emergent church is the sheeps clothing. This is what is going on in my church. Our pastors see the good things McLaren is saying, but they are just blind to the more important things he "sneaks" in with the good. From all that I've read and seen, there is no redeeming value to McLaren's teachings or the stuff I've seen on the emergent church blogs and sites.
