insignificant - Barna on emergent

Published by Andre Daley at 12:00 am under emerging church

Chris Monroe over at Paradoxology has posted some of his lunch conversation with George Barna who said

the emergent movement (when compared with the "revolutionaries" he had been studying) was rather insignificant

Is it possible that after all the hype in the media and news coverage the impact of the emergent movement/conversation will be insignificant? If its true is there anything to be done about it? What’s the measure of significance that Barna uses? What’s the measure of significance that those of us in the emerging church conversation use? (fair to say that my measure is praxis)

These are some lingering questions I have from this post.

    Barna has done some great work, but I really don’t think he understands postmodern culture. As a result, I’m not surprised he is discounting the emerging church. (Personal Pet Peeve - Emergent is a brand name. I’m using emerging church in the broader sense.)
