    Will has posted a link to an excellent editorial from the NY Times reflecting on the pre-war sermons from leading evangelicals in the run-up to the Iraq war, and on the increasing political power that they enjoy.

    Links: Neophilia [1] |  Neophilia [2] |  Neophilia [3] Over the last few posts I’ve been proposing that the Emerging Church needs to be aware of the dangers of ‘Neophilia’ – being in love with newness for newness’ sake.
