Pyromaniacs are back

Pyromaniacs are back. After blipping off the blogosphere for a month, the Pyros are back. I think I really missed them. You might not like their dispensationalist theology or their anti-emerging church sentiments, and their readership can be pirahna-like in the comments . . . but you have to admit, they kick ass with their cool blog and their endless supply of gorgeous graphics.

Not quite as stylish, but there's an emerging anti-emerging sentiment in South Africa too.

Hi Andrew

You posted a short comment on my blog http://emergingthreat.blogspot.com/

Please could you clarify which point in the article you wanted examples of - preferably by adding another comment directly to the blog.

I guess this blog may be what Steve Hayes is referring to above. I must admit, I can't rival the pyromaniac blog's graphics.

Thanks Philip Rosenthal

hi philip. really appreciate you getting back to me. any example of an emerging church will do. it doesnt have to be an example from south africa but i would like to know which group you encountered that has caused you to make these judgments about the movement as a whole.

also, you may be interested to read what i wrote a few days before flying to south africa. link

Andrew,

Thanks for your kind comments on my blog.

Philip, yes, your blog was one of those I had in mind, but not the only one, as you can see if you check Notes from underground: The emerging menace in South Africa, which has a link to yours.

wow - all these south africans on my blog and yet none of them are hassling me about the kiwis having a better rugby team than them.

go allblacks!

You say, "You might not like their dispensationalist theology or their anti-emerging church sentiments, and their readership can be pirahna-like in the comments..."

Okay, you were playing my song so far. Then you say, "but you have to admit, they kick ass with their cool blog and their endless supply of gorgeous graphics."

For me you got that right, too. I realized I was only reading this because I figured that the quality graphics must be a confirmation of God's blessing! ("That church must be good, they have 10,000 members.") I eventually removed the bookmark in my computer.

To paraphrase Larry Norman, "Why should the dispensationalists have all the good graphics?"
