From the beginning, church leaders criticized the Emerging Church Movement. At times painful, at other times laughable, it came from the right and the left. The critics took on what ECM leaders said and wrote, how they led churches, and even how they looked. And none were more the target of criticism than Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt, and Nadia Bolz-Weber. In this episode, they get to hear clips of that criticism — some for the first time — and respond in real time. You'll hear what they learned, what they regret, and some never-before-told behind-the-scenes stories.  ______ Emerged is a crowdfunded project.
