The little I've read on Jim Wallis just now doesn't seem so bad, I'll have to revisit. He says "Don't go left, don't go right: go deeper." I like that. Anyway, did you read the covenant? If you sign it, you can still listen to Bleck in spite of what Jim suggests. Bleck can be entertaining to some I guess.

Note that Chuck Colson is among the signers -- I doubt he'd call himself Emergent or agree with Jim on much that is political. And if you would like to include me with the Emergent folks, that's fine with me. Just got back from a nice time at Theology after Google, which you noted was a festival of heresy.<br /><br />And Allan, this is Gary's MO. Pretty much anyone who disagrees with him is outside the boundaries of the faith.Robert Cornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581876323110725024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-66334970243192573002010-03-30T12:43:02.425-04:002010-03-30T12:43:02.425-04:00A counterpoint to Wallis et al:
