the submarine church

As most of you will know I'm currently working on my final thesis. My attempt is to find out whether 'the emerging church' offers a biblical and theological alternative for the way in which we 'do church' (practical ecclesiology). Now, if you would google 'emerging church' you would see that it comes up with over 21.000.000 hits! Substantially more than the 'evangelical church' and the 'charismatic church'. Quite an impressive achievement considering the fact that most of the writers/thinkers of the EC (emerging church) seem to think that the EC doesn't actually excist.
Now, whilst reading about these guys I have become somewhat eager to dive into the 'conversation' head down, by posting comments on blogs, writing reviews on amazon.com and making this final thesis into a huge succes. (Hopefully the latter will happen indeed)... but something is witholding me:
These guys are so good with words! Seriously, they can make a mosquito feel like an elephant and vice versa, they can make you believe anything! And as soon as you disagree with them (or think to disagree) they get some words from their seemingly endless vocabulary that you didn't even know existed (and sometimes they actually don't) and leave you confused once again. And that's my problem, more than 80% of this conversation is rhetoric (I know, so is this 80%, I don't have a clue, but you get my point). And very often I don't see questions answered.
And listen, I'm 21 years old... I must be postmodern right? These guys are in their forty's and I feel as if they are telling me how I should desire church to be! Their statements are too general, too vague, too...postmodern (I'm starting to dislike the word).
I feel attacked by the EC, I don't know why, but whenever I'm reading their material I tend to object, even if they make a good point... they are so anti-, so post-, so destructive in their presentation that I hardly ever feel we're fighting the same battle and are on the same side.

I know, I know... I'm talking about them and they... and I know, 'they' don't excist. But I can't enter into a conversation with a bunch of nobodies and for one thing; they don't present themselves like that.

I feel like they are just another submarine, emerging to recharge their battery and maybe look around for an enemy or two and I'm glad that they've warned us about these enemies. Because we (the bad ugly modern evangelicals that don't excist just as much as 'they') have dived to fight a war that we're in together. EC, don't stay at the surface too long, they might take you out!
