Emerging Church Cafeteria-Style

It looks like the emerging conversation now comes in three flavors: relevant, reconstructionist, or revisionist. Or half-and-half, or all three, if you're really feeling adventurous. I find myself aligning broadly with the reconstructionist category and only partially with the other two, as I believe relevance to be incidental rather than deliberate and revisionism to often be revising all the wrong things. (Note that reconstructionism here means something entirely different than it does when used in reference to nationalism.) Here's another discussion of the three categories.
