The Emergent Church

Today in a PBS Religion & Ethics special, Brian McLaren was interviewed discussing the emergent church movement and it's affect on America. Afterward, I could not help but have several unanswered questions (maybe this makes me emergent?) regarding this movement in our mainline protestant churches right now. The following is a thinking out loud list I have scratched down. Tell me what you think, or at least help me ask the questions better...

1. Emergent seems to be a white-church thing. I have never seen a Black church, Vietnamese church, or Latino church interviewed asking to discuss the emergent movement. Maybe this backlash culturally against the modernist way of doing church is mostly a white thing?
2. If this is a white thing, what are the implications of this... white men have always been disgruntled since the Reformation? The movement is just another way to exclude other people groups? How can something be defined by what it does not want to be? Hmmm.
3. This movement seems to be more about The Medium and less about The Message.
4. Are other historical religions going through reform right now? Not really. Well, maybe Catholicism, but not Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, or Orthodoxy. Does this mean that post-modernism hasn't reached these religions yet, or is this another white thing (or better said, a cultural thing).
5. The chief aim of this movement is to appeal to the masses. This reinforces the old adage, "Religion is the opiate of the masses" -- a phrase we have been trying to outrun since Humanism began challenging Christianity.
