Welcome to the website for Evangelical
Ministries to New Religions (EMNR), a professional membership
association for individuals and ministries addressing "cults" of
Christianity, new religious movements, and world religions.
Each year EMNR holds a national conference in which our members and other
participants network with one another, share important
information and research, and increase their knowledge and
ministry skills. These conferences have been held in various locations
throughout the United States, including Philadelphia, Denver, Atlanta, and
Chicago and on the campus of distinguished universities and seminaries
such as Beeson Divinity School, Southern Baptist Seminary–Louisville,
Biola University, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and
Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Click here to order tapes
from these sessions, and here for copies of some of the
papers
that were delivered.
If you're a member of EMNR and need to renew your membership,
please take a few moments to do so. Download the
membership renewal application form
so we can continue to fulfill our mission to recognize, encourage,
and strengthen responsible ministry to new religious movements.
If you're not a member of EMNR, please take a few moments to
consider why membership
in EMNR will be of benefit to you.
EMNR strives to provide additional services for its members.
One way this can be accomplished is through our
research papers page.
Here you will find a number of helpful papers archived on this site or
linked from elsewhere, addressing new religious movements from a variety of
perspectives, including theological, missiological and academic.
For information about our next National Conference,
please visit our
conference page.
Important notices:
- Change of address. EMNR has taken on a new executive director. We value
and appreciate the efforts of outgoing director Bob Waldrep, who served EMNR
for the past ten years. The Interim Director is L. L. "Don" Veinot, and our
new mailing address is in Tennessee. Additional details can be found on the
press release page.
- Response to controversy. In a workshop at our 2008 national conference,
one of the presenters unfairly accused certain Christian teachers of
from the CBMW
and the Southern Baptist Convention of espousing errant doctrine
leading to cultic "influences." The board of EMNR has decided to issue this
statement to clarify our
position on this workshop.
We look forward to being of service to you.
L.L. (Don) Veinot, Jr.
President and Interim Executive Director
Steve Hogel
Assistant Executive Director
