O Emergent, Who Art Thou?

Been reading around the blogosphere and familiarizing myself with the Emergent Movement, and I have come up with two preliminary conclusions: 1. Those who are Emergent don't want to be labeled as such. Labels are bad. They also make semantical distinctions between being "emergent" and "emerging." I am told that the EC is a very broad movement encompassing a plethora of positions. 2. While that is the case, those who are Emergent have shown themselves to be very predictable. Last Saturday, I began to spend a little time when I can to see what is being said. While it has been argued that they are not monolithic, I am not seeing evidence of that. It has been quite easy to know who they read, who the leading theologians are, what they are against, but little of what they are for. So, I am confused. O Emergent brother who art thou? I would like to understand who you are, but every attempt is being made to not clearly define who are. How can you defend who you are if you first don't define who you are? I really would like to be in the "conversation" but right now I spending a whole lot of time trying decode the "Emergent Code" and put the hints you are giving me together. I must admit, it has been fun to play the "Hide and Go Seek" game, but it would be nice to be able to have a conversation where I would not hear, "I know you are, but what am I?" (my favorite 1st grade phrase). Finally, I wonder what will emerge from the Emerging Church. For instance, I am wondering . . . Is there anyone who has emerged from the Emerging Church? Is there anyone who is post post-modern, post post evangelical, post post-liberal, post post-conservative, post post-foundational, post post-Christian? Any attempt for clarification, definition, or description would greatly be appreciated. Also, one consequence of not clearly defining who you are is the inevitability of having others define who you are (which will more than likely be inaccurate). So you would do yourselves and others a true service to present yourselves beyond the smoke-and-mirrors in the clear light of day.
