I finally gave in and made a category called Semi-Satire here at Apprising Ministries. Not unlike the Marty Python Flying Circus Church skit concerning the “Holy Ghost Hokie-Pokie” on the Pirate Christian Radio program Fighting for the Faith hosted by Chris Rosebrough, the visible church is becoming a parody of itself.

Lately I’ve been telling you here at Apprising Ministries that evangelicalism made a horrible mistake when it embraced the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church—a veritable Trojan Horse full of heresy—now blossomed into an Emerging Church 2.0 pushing its new form of postmodern Progressive Christianity as “big tent” Emergence Christianity.
