Apprising Ministries has told you that largely pretending to be Protestant evangelicalism is now beginning to pay a heavy price for its foolish embrace of the sinfully ecumenial neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church, or the Emergent Church, as it’s sometimes called. Now, a key component within their new postmodern Liberalism 2.o—its “big tent” Progressive […]
