In a post over at Apprising Ministries you’ll see Mark Van Steenwyk sharing about the neo-monastic movement he is a part of, which is the same thing that emerging church icon Shane Claiborne is also aligned with.

As I have begun studying this movement of new monasticism I have come to see all of this as yet one more “subversive” Emerging Church rebellion against the authority of God’s Word. In fact, it really is a kind of “Christian” Marxism as R.J. Stevens earlier pointed out concerning Rob Bell in his insightful piece Rob Bell Preaches from Marx Gospel.
