But I really have a problem with some of the emergent folks looking down their noses at mega churches and or suggesting that the de facto model of emerging church is small (in order to have "real" community) and flat leadership (avoiding charismatic leaders) Just admit that many of the approaches being critiqued are also being practiced.   Andre DJ,

I'm finding it diverse to the point that the label is passe now. There are other high profile EC's that are just as big or bigger. Of the bat I think of Imago Dei and Mosaic.

The emergent churches that are small with lesser charismatic leaders don't get top billing at conferences or book contracts. As much as emergent deconstructs the system, it's really very hard to get around the attraction that human nature has for certain kinds of speakers and larger sized churches.
