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.
Maybe they are just to damn dumb to vote. I still think you should have to pass a test. Have some understanding of issues and how gov. works. Being a tax payer would be a help too.
