Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

At first I had to ask what was wrong about the emergent movement. Sally's Presentation of the different stories seemed to be a thorough way of teaching the stories of the bible characters. Then I read about the three stones for Peter's denials. Then I realized that a large amount of her goal is an experiential event, and her comments on page 230 make me think of a 'close encounter of the third kind,' but instead of Aliens, you get to meet with this mystical God creature!
While her methods for teaching might be useful in a para-church setting, calling these teaching methods Sunday morning worship is probably stretching it.
