Two sides to every story...

We all know they exist, right?

It's been interesting over the years to hear and read Mark Driscoll's side of his "break" with the Leadership Network group that would later become Emergent Village. He's always stated that he walked away from the whole thing over theological differences.

I have heard the other side of that story from numerous mouths who were also there and knew that there was discomfort on both sides- and that, in fact, the rest of the group felt...

Well, I guess you'll just have to read Tony Jones' new book The New Christians to get the rest of that story :)

Yeah, I know... I'm mean. So sue me.

I'm not really sure the purpose that posting something like this serves other than to be mean spirited?

When I said "mean" I meant mean to tease people by not just recapping what Tony had written. I don't think it's mean and especially not "meanspirited" to say I'm glad Mark's been able to give his take on what has really come to be understood as a pretty significant break between two "streams" in the emerging church conversation.

And now, I for one am really glad to see that story balanced with another perspective on it.
