Emerging Church Christian: Their life revolves around rock music, special coffees and eating french-fries during a 20 minute sermon.

Yes, rock music, coffee and A.D.H.D.-friendly services are “typical” of emerging churches, but that’s pretty much everywhere now anyway. That’s not what defines them. You might call them post-modern, but it might be more accurate to call them post-Dobson or post-Falwell. They have little or no affinity for the Evangelical mainstream or its nexus with Republican politics.

Yeah, and they all seem to be under age 40, usually under age 30.

At my church your list is preferable to listening to the shallow pastor!
