You could make a case that the emergent church isn't really evangelical or mainline, but if you are forced to use that dichotomy I think it's hard to argue it doesn't fall more on the evangelical side of the line, especially a charismatic emergent like me. Unless we're defining (as the media so often does) evangelical as "conservative Protestant", which kind of renders the whole evangelical/mainline split pointless if we're just going to use them as stand-ins for "conservative" and "liberal".
That's funny, I thought evangelicals were supposed to be ultra mega socons.
See above. This is a No True Scotsman.
