Spirit & Praxis

I finished reading Rob McAlpine's article/paper/e-book entitled "Post-Charismatic" over the weekend. It's an impressive work of research and exegesis focused on some of the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement's more notable extremes. He confirms something that I've suspected for a while, that the "emerging church" contains a significant number of folks who have fled the movement for one reason or another. After reading Rob's work, I'm reminded how blessed I am to have grown up in the Assemblies of God. I was spared from most of the excesses, but I certainly observed them from afar and saw the damage done. The A/G has generally been the voice of reason and balance within Pentecostalism.

If you're involved in leadership in a Pentecostal/Charismatic church or you're an "escapee" in an emerging church, take the time to read what Rob has written. You won't regret it.
