The Emergent Church

Have any of you become aquainted with the "Emerging" movement within "evangelicalism" (I decided henceforth to distinguish between Big E Evangelicalism, which embodies its Greek root evangel = gospel, and little e evangelicalism, which is just the name of something), as popularized by Brian McLaren? Anyway, I just finished a (somewhat lengthy) series of posts from a friend of mine about it, that I found a quite useful discussion.

Emergent as a movement within evangelicalism Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

He pointed to some pages from "McLarenists", and I was struck by one quote there, how their jargon is a bunch of forceless platitudes, and reads like stereotypical upper management-speak, self-help pep talks, and sales seminars about "new paradigms". Here's the original, and the following is my feeble understanding (my editorial remarks in []). Maybe y'all can help me better understand it:

"The emerging church around the world shares a number of common characteristics, including in most cases, an emergent vocabulary [self-referential and circular?], synoptic outlook [they only like Matthew, Mark and Luke?], creative expression, organic resourcing [reduce dependency on foreign petrol?], fluid strategy [again, petrol?], decentralized leadership, holistic expression, fluency in new media [ahh... this one I get... "God spoke and there was PowerPoint"], postmodern sensibility, structural simplicity, countercultural origins [back to the "Jesus freaks..."], an upfront missional focus, modular church expression [what...?] rather than singular, a deep ecclesiology [sub-basements in all church buildings?] attendance at particular yearly festivals [Rosh Hashanna, Ramadan, Juneteenth...], a greater ecumenical commitment and social concern and so on" (Andrew Jones, The Emerging Conversation: Unabridged)

So.... what?
