New Thing Severs Old Authority

Has AA helped to create this new thing called the emerging church?

The transformation of the evangelical church, into this "new thing" which is Emergent/Emerging, severs the old authority structures altogether. The new authorities in believers' lives may or may not be pastors, seminaries, denominational headquarters or even leaders. Believers are substituting other authorities for their pastorate -- things like The Shack, Richard Foster, Len Sweet, etc.
