Welcome back.
Get part 1 of the PBS video at:Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly.:
Here is my favorite part of the transcript:
"TONY JONES (National Coordinator, Emergent): Is it more sloppy than what a systematic theology professor does, sitting in his tenured chair typing up a book on the doctrine of the atonement? Yeah, it's messier than that! But that's, I think, theology as it works itself out in the lives of human beings who are kind of scratching and clawing their way to try to follow Jesus on a daily basis. It's a messy endeavor, and I embrace that messiness.
LAWTON: Still, even sympathetic observers say the movement faces big theological challenges.
Prof. MCKNIGHT: I understand that many of them want to ask good questions, but for things to be Christian means that there are answers and there are limits to what those answers can be."
The movement I want to be a part of involves both Messiness and Limits.
Into the future,
