And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD. And behold, at the entrance of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs to the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east, worshiping the sun toward the east. (Ezekiel 8:16, ESV)

If you think this looks like people practicing Zen Buddhist meditation, you’d be correct. If you think this is at a Zendo in a Zen Center, you’d be wrong. This is Reverend Shinko Rick Slone, whom Apprising Ministries told you about in The Emerging Church TransFORM East Coast Apostasia-Palooza, leading the “Stillness Meditation” which opens each day of the TransFORM heresy-fest.

It’s all part of A New Kind of Christianty being advanced by the Emergent Church, a new form of Progressive Christian theology New Age mystic Deepak Chopra recently called “the resurrection of a new global Christianity that will restore our faith both in ourselves and in the divine.”
