Do you like to read theology? And you’ve got a blog?  Then check this out from Tripp Fuller<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

I am helping to organize a series of conferences as part of a grant at school called Transforming Theology<\/a>.  We will have a conference with three different groups, theologians,<\/a> national denomination leaders,<\/a> and seminary and divinity school deans from across the country<\/a>.  Because we share the conviction that Theology Matters<\/em>,
\nthis diverse group of mainline Christians and emerging church folk,
\nprogressive Evangelicals and old-fashioned liberals, seekers and
\nsettled folks will gather to imagine a theological vision with
\nintellectual integrity for progressive Christianity that is
\ncommunicable and challenging for the church.<\/p>\n

A huge number of America’s best theologians <\/a>are
\ncoming to the conference and as we move towards their arrival and the dialogue with the denominations we want to get the online community
\ninvolved in the discussion.  The first way is to get books by these
\ntheologians in bloggers hands so they can begin to engage the ideas.<\/b> 
\nEngaging them is what we want, not just an affirmative pat on the back,
\na summary, or a all out rejection, but engagement in whatever your
\nattention is drawn to.  Your post(s) on the book will be featured on
\nthe Transforming Theology website and your questions and push backs
\nwill form the background to an online component of the conference.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
