FGBC Concerns Pt. 3: Emergent VS. FGBC Statement of Faith

Emergent VS. FGBC Statement of Faith

This paper was supposed to be submitted to a forum for discussion at national conference and anyone could challenge or rebut me but none of that ever happened. In 2009 I decided to post the paper on my blog and here it is:

In April 2008, I published a short update on Willow Creek and their involvement with the emergent. This did not go over well with many in the FGBC because they were and some still are promoting Hybels and his leadership summits as viable training opportunities for our pastors. Here's the article:
