Many people point to the Re:Evaluation Forum, held at the Glorieta Conference Center in October, 1998, as the birth of the Emerging Church Movement. That gathering followed a chain of events that included the founding of Young Leaders Network in 1993, and seminal conferences at Glen Eyrie in 1996 and Mt. Hermon in 1997. And at that latter conference, Mark Driscoll made his national debut — he also had to ask for forgiveness from the audience. Ultimately, after some planning meetings, The National Re:Evaluation Forum was held and, as Chris Seay says in this episode, “There’s pre-Glorieta and there’s post-Glorieta.” Also, Brian McLaren arrives on the scene.

Guests on this episode include Doug Pagitt, Brian McLaren, Brad Smith, Morgan Leigh McKenna, Brad Cecil, Tim Conder, Andrew Jones, and Chris Seay.

Music by The Cobalt Season (compliments of Ryan Sharp), Solomon’s Porch (compliments of Ben Johnson), Ecclesia and The Voice Bible thanks to Chris Seay.
