Fab report. Thanks - and so glad you had a good time. I loooove Dr. Forbes. As for the Emergent movement, this kinda confirms my views of it, which is perhaps too bad, but I am waiting for proof that it is not just more male-dominated largely white evangelical Protestantism in slightly hip clothing with a little cyber window dressing and no awareness of history. (e.g of previous and existing radical moves and communities within the larger Christian family.) Have never had a chance to hear Brueggeman, though I read and recommend his Prophetic Imagination frequently; sounds like a treat!

Please understand that while I think you’re fabulous, I’m going to have to hate you a tiny bit for a very short while while I stew about other people having gotten a chance to hear Walter Brueggemann. I swear that his The Prophetic Imagination is as personal is it is societal. Gorgeous brain and heart.

Totally off topic, but there’s a fashion crisis over at MadPriest and they’re calling for you.

And yes, I am totally with you about Fred, BBT and James. They are the best.

Thanks, PB! Lots to hunt down here for those of us not able to attend these conferences.

Do you have any UU preachers who move/challenge/inspire you?

I am not all that familiar with many of the names you mentioned above but as listener to Riverside almost every Sunday can I just say that I love Dr. Forbes, I feel he is also a national treasure.

Now that he has stepped down as senior minister I never get to hear him any more
