The Emerging Church aka Emergent Church, now morphing into Emergence Christianity (EC), de-formation of the Christian faith continues spreading like a cancer throughout the visible church.

Here it is: “Saying the same thing over and over doesn’t make it right.” You see, not so much unlike apostate monks in Roman Catholicism some EC pastors like Jay Bakker apparently like to chant.
