I’ve just spent another few days with Philip Clayton, and once again been impressed with the evangelical zeal with which he approaches progressive theology. He is a force of nature.
Which, I imagine, is why the Ford Foundation gave him a grant to “transform theology for church and society” (read, make progressive theology popular and populist again). I’ve been involved with him in that, particularly with Tripp “Sancho Panza” Fuller.
Well, Tripp’s posted another video from a former gathering and in advance of the next gathering, Theology After Google (which I strongly encourage you to attend if you can make it. Yes, you.). In the video, you’ll hear me say that God’s future is what should get a Christian out of bed in the morning, which I really do believe.

Tony,
I agree that God’s future is reason to get out of bed. What a great way of putting it.
I have written a response to Philip’s article that I’d love feedback and discussion on. I have tried to comment at The Ooze where the article first appeared but they aren’t showing up. As a friend of Emergent I would love to put my response with his article and see how people react. What do you think?

thanks for the ongoing dialog.
FYI:
The transforming theology link isn’t working.
what’s the details on the gathering?
when? where?
Awesome. It is so easy to get overwhelmed with what is going on in the present. I honestly get up in the morning for what I have to do TODAY!
Thanks for posting the video.
