Like I said, I don't agree with everything that he writes and everything that the emerging church practices and promotes, but there are still things to learn there.

Spend some time at Tim Challies website. While I do not agree with everything here, he is up to date on much in the emerging church.

We can learn from those we don't always agree with. I don't always agree with McLaren, and I definitely don't always agree with the emerging stuff. But I still think there is good to be gleaned and also knowledge to be gained.

Also, just to clarify, I'm not all that involved with the emerging church. I just find the stuff they write to have an element of challenge to it. They want people to test what they say. You don't get much of that from writings in other areas these days.
