Who are some of the leaders in the Emerging Church movement?

by Matt Slick

How do I decide who is a leader in the Emerging Church movement? I don't. But, I've followed the lead of Emerging Church people who point to leaders and spokesmen, and I've read books by and about Emerging Church leaders. In them, they refer to people in the movement. For quick reference, here are some of the ones they have listed; I have arranged them alphabetically by last name:
