Hey Phil!
Welcome to the universe of Bob.
Just for the record, I feel a bit badly about the more strident tone of the past few days, particularly as it relates to Phil. But I guess if there's a ever a time for a bit of hardball, it's when a good man and a good pastor like Dan Kimball is being slandered and his views not only misrepresented but mocked.
Glad to see Phil took time out for a long conversation with Dan. Sad to see that Phil is sticking to this: "And I still think Dan Kimball's chapter in Listening to the Beliefs of the Emerging Churches exemplifies that tendency; that he was disturbingly ambiguous in key places where he ought to have spoken more clearly; and that throughout that book Dan was much less militant than he needed to be."
I'm just not so sure "militant" is exactly what we need when dealing with our brothers and sisters over matters of theology, you know? Speaking the truth in love is hard enough to do without bringing "militant" into it...
It kills me that despite Dan answering their 19 questions repeatedly they just keep going after him. Yes, I know it's 19 because of friend of mine counted them. 19 times! Good Grief.
