Scot McKnight (blog) has adapted his introduction and overview of the Emerging Church (originally given as the opening address of last October’s Student Forum on the Emerging Church at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia) and published it on Christianity Today Online.

It is now going on two weeks since the Emerging Church Forum sponsored by the Student Association of Westminster Theological Seminary. One of our hopes in putting on that conference was to stimulate thinking and dialog not only between Reformed seminarians and emerging church folk but also within each of those two circles. It was [...]

Rev. Richard “Rick” Phillips has posted his reactions to the recording of Scot McKnight’s address to last week’s Forum on the Emerging Church held by Westminster Theological Seminary’s Student Association.

We’re still hearing cheers and jeers from Westminster students (mostly cheers in my ears), but I’ve been [...]

I invited my friend and Westminster classmate John Eddy to adapt a comment he wrote on another blog into a “guest blog” here on Sacred Journey. When he’s not sharing a beer with me, John currently serves as Executive Director of the new Gospel & Culture Project at WTS.

Listening to Scot McKnight’s talk last Thursday [...]
