Its about “experience” replacing teaching from the word and ritual verses freedom. The Emergents adapt this and that from other religious traditions more because it “feels” like they think church should feel (except sometimes instead of an altar they will have an old tire encircling candles because it’s more ‘cool’).

In regards to this article, they are speaking largely of “evangelicals.” Right now, evangelical churches are being torn apart by seeker sensitivity and Emergent. They bring about new “traditions” by trashing old ones. Doctrine doesn’t matter. Not even the atonement. It ain’t pretty.

ritual verses freedom

What if someone freely chooses to pray the same prayer each morning?

The only tradition worth its salt is the Apostolic Tradition, which is centered on the historical facts dealing with Christ's life, His atoning death, His resurrection from the dead, and His ascension to the Father in heaven “from whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.” Everything else is simply superfluous window dressing.
