Anybody want to head down to SEBTS with me? They are hosting a conference on the emerging church in September. Some of the speakers include Mark Driscoll and Ed Stetzer.

The conference will be examining the emerging church through the lens of orthodoxy.

Having listened to numerous messages on the subject by both Driscoll and Stetzer, it should be a terrific conference. I'm also looking forward to hearing the rest of the speakers as well.

The discussion flowing out of the 'emerging/emergent' streams has raised some insightful questions on what is involved in the church becoming more missional in our orientation. How do we contextualize the Gospel for which we also contend?

I thought Mark Driscoll's message at last year's Desiring God conference nailed it. Biblical truth is not up for grabs. We need to be contenders and contextualizers.
