On the family drive to the in-laws this Thanksgiving afternoon, we listened to a recording of a speech that Brian McLaren made at Princeton Seminary earlier this month. A recording has been provided by Adam Cleaveland, here. If you have any interest in the emergent conversation, I encourage you to listen to it. Although he’s clearly directing his comments at mainline seminary students and professors, his analysis of the American church situation is penetrating and his enthusiasm for the emerging conversation is encouraging.
It’s also fun for me to be learning and thinking about these subjects with my wife. I find it really energizing to be thinking about ecclesiology, christology, and even epistomology with my partner in life. Not only is she smart, so she helps me learn, but by addressing these issues together, it’s easier to turn theology into real practice in our lives. And, after all, that’s what both of us really want: to live out our lives as people following Christ.
