This is an eyewitness report on the February 2009 National Pastor’s Conference in San Diego, California, and a warning about the emerging church and its growing influence. The conference was sponsored by Zondervan and InterVarsity Press, two of the largest and most influential Christian publishers. Their authors represent the mainstream of evangelicalism today as well as its cutting edge, from Bill Hybels and Rick Warren to Rob Bell and Brian McLaren. Christianity Today magazine was prominently represented at the conference. The emerging church is a name that has been coined for a new approach to missions and church life among many “evangelicals” for these present times. In reality, the emerging church is simply the latest heresy within the broad tent of evangelicalism.
