I can only assume you made this response without having really read my first post. I said Mclaren is insignificant to the movement, but even he has noted his concept may only be a conversation on post-modern, rather than a church.
Not significant! McLaren is now required reading in seminaries. I know PCA pastor's purchasing his books, but not to debate them, but to embrace his concepts. Equipping Today's Church for Tomorrow's Challenges states, "Bryan McLaren has emerged as one of the leading 'prophetic voices' calling us to consider how the church can remain faithful to Christ while being spiritually, socially and culturally relevant in a rapidly changing world." Brian McLaren was recently named by Time magazine as one of 25 most influential evangelicals! McLaren is a loud voice for the Emerging Church and any attempt to disassociate him from the movement simply crumbles. Of course, it is understandable why most desire to distance themselves from him as many of his teachings are heretical. Postmodernism and the emerging church movement are founded on a false premise (that we cannot know anything definitely). However, while fallen humans cannot know the truth perfectly, that does not mean that all truth is unknowable, or that one perspective is just as valid as any other. Humans can truly know knowledge, even if they cannot know it perfectly. As Carson says, "postmodern philosophy inexorably leads to moral relativism. If truth is entirely a matter of individual perspective, then morality has no objective basis, and quickly becomes an individual judgment call. This worldview is profoundly un-Christian."

McLaren has a way with words which is very deceptive. You paraphase him saying, "his concept may only be a conversation on post-modern, rather than a church" and yet he pastors a Church? Please note that all heresy is expressed through conversation of word or deed.
