Mark nice job on this file conversion and posting, I noticed you, Art, and I are linked to Scot’s blog; a kind gesture on his part…I hope we can contribute to the discussions on his blog and continue to have posts worthwhile to read by him.

Tony,
I’m thinking that at some point after the dust of this all settles, we should “debrief” with all involved and think about how we can keep the “conversation” going….but if I know you you’re already thinking about that!

Can I ask, as someone who wasn’t present, what was it about Scot’s presentation that ruffled feathers? It seemed pretty tame to me. Good stuff - one of the best presentations I’ve read yet on things emerging.

ScottB:
Sorry for the delayed answer; your comment got caught by my spam filter for some reason.
The “behind the scenes” answer to your question (I got this from Scot personally) was that he was a little nervous, assuming that at a conservative Reformed seminary an emergent-friendly Arminian would not be warmly recieved. Because of that, he came on a little strong in his first address. Although I didn’t feel this way, some students felt they were being scolded, which struck them as peculiar since there was so much in his talk that they could resonate with.
I think that as the three days progressed and Scot had opportunity to interact with our students, the vast majority of whom were very welcoming, he warmed up to us, as we did to him. I’m hoping that he left impressed that, whatever doctrinal difference may be there, most of us at WTS share a missional passion with him.
