But it seems to me, 10 years just isn't enough. The first 4 Popes were Bishops of Antioch and Rome for the first 90 years after Christ- and all died at the hands of the Romans. The Mormons still aren't recognized as being Christian, 150+ years after Joseph Smith. It takes 50-150 years for a new sect to exit cult status- in ANY religion, not just Christianity (there's a reason why Zen Buddhism had to run to Japan to escape older forms of Buddhism and thrive). So why are we giving up on Emergence after only 10 years?Theodore M. Seeberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315945417122366201noreply@blogger.com
