Yes, a revival . . . well, sort of. So here's the deal, there are three guys, all friends and all leaders of the emerging/emergent conversation. They've all written books, they all speak at events and worship services regularly and they all have really great ideas about the future of the church. Their names are Doug Pagitt, Tony Jones and Mark Scandrette and as of today, they've begun a national road tour that they are calling the "Church Basement Roadshow: A Rollin' Gospel Revival." Here's what their promo says:
"A biodiesel-fuled RV loaded with three of the most outspoken emergent church leaders/authors will crisscross the country this summer with a message that combines old time revival flair with a 21st Century gospel. Controversial for their 'nothing is to sacred to be questioned' doctrine, Jones, Pagitt and Scandrette are part of the emergent movement, a decade-old phenomenon of pastors, missionaries, artists, theologians, authors and 'regular people' who are rethinking church and Christianity for a globalized world."
The revival is on July 11 at 7pm at Solomon's Porch, 100 W. 46th St., Mpls., but those wishing to meet beforehand for a bite can meet at The Malt Shop, 809 W. 50th St., Mpls. Please let me know if you're interested in attending the revival and/or dinner. Also, this will be the first event where members of other groups from our network will be participating, so plan on meeting some new people!
If you can, bring a friend!
