Moving Away from the Drawing Board and Towards the Lab (Part 3).

Jay Guin’s idea for a dialogue on the future of the progresive Churches of Christ is starting to materialize now. Here’s the link With my post, there are now 23 comments on said page. Some anonymous guy has kinda hijacked the thread, but I’m hoping that my entry will get things back on track. The questions that are being discussed now are

1. Who to invite.

2. What format the dialogue should be in.

and

3. How to advertise the dialogue.

As for the nominations, they are as follows

Jay Guin (4)

John Mark Hicks (3)

Landon Saunders (2)

Patrick Mead (2)

Todd Deaver (2)

Leonard Allen

John Alan Turner

Wade Hodges

Terry Rush

Randy Harris

F. LaGard Smith

Edward Fudge

Douglas Foster

Flavil Yeakley

So clearly, at this point, we’re looking at having Jay Guin and John Mark Hicks at the table. But who else? Well, we’ll just wait and see what develops. As for the other questions, lots of things have been put forth, but like I said, the discussion’s been semi-hijacked, so we’ll see what happens when other people come in and start participating. But some other issues were brought up in the comment section. What about a progressive publication, mailing list or lectureship? Are any of these things in our future? Well I guess that’s what the meeting is for right? And eventually, there will have to be some sort of agenda set for this thing, but that’ll come later.
