Last year in Baltimore the Open and Relational Theologies session took a look at the Emerging Church.  This session involves three conversations, with three participants in each. These conversations pertain to papers written by participants, but there will be no formal reading of the papers. The conversations explore issues in the emergent church as they relate to open and relational theologies.

Christian Piatt of the Homebrewed CultureCast was recently in SoCal to hang with Tripp Fuller and talk about his new book PostChristian: What’s left? Can we fix? Do we care?   They were joined by Bart Campolo, Peter Rollins and Benjamin Cory to talk about the implications of moving on. Imagine this as an a living room conversation in an auditorium.  It was a ruckus affair but we wanted you to hear the first part of the evening where they all shared how they come to the conversation. We have live events coming up in November at AAR in San Diego on Friday night – plan to join us with Catherine Keller, John Cobb, and Jack Caputo  there! We will also be at Christianity21 this year in Phoenix (January 22-24) and at  this year’s PMYC ! This episode is going out as a cross-pollination experiment on both the CultureCast and TNT streams.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
