Call me Clark. I’m loading the kids into the family truckster (Volvo wagon) and driving them to Washington, D.C. at the end of March. We’re going to do the usuals: tour the Capitol Building, spend a day in the Smithsonian(s); visit Mount Vernon.
But my question for you, dear blog readers, is this: What else should I know? Any off-the-beaten-track suggestions? How about where to stay (I’m currently searching VRBO.com, and looking for hotel deals)? Anything else?
Thanks for your help!
Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting — alongside Phyllis Tickle, Bruce Reyes-Chow, and Philip Clayton — at Emergence NOW, the mid-winter conference of Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. Columbia is one of the better hosts for a conference like this, and they treat their speakers with warm hospitality.
Phyllis Tickle led off, working out some new angles on her Great Emergence ideas. I think she’s hitting the authority question harder than ever (and I think that will be the basis of my paper next month at the Society of Pentecostal Studies). I like that Phyllis continues to let her ideas evolve, and that she has listened to, and responded to, criticism as she’s presented these ideas over the past five years.
