Amy Hall, writing for str.org:
When I disagree with someone, I always like to hear straight from them what they teach and believe whenever possible rather than merely reading about them (although reading analyses written by others is also helpful). I recommend this approach as a way to avoid misunderstandings, to pinpoint where they're coming from and why, and to focus your own analysis and critique (and sometimes even agreement) more accurately and effectively.
In light of that, I want to let you know about "The Church Basement Roadshow: A Rollin' Gospel Revival" that will likely be coming to a church near you (tour dates are posted here):
Three authors/friends/public speakers hit the road for a summer, barnstorming churches around the country in a cross between an old time tent revival and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Speaking at churches large and small, Tony [Jones], Doug [Pagitt], and Mark [Scandrette] will present a 90-minute show (including a 20-minute intermission) that will combine humor and passion, speaking and video, preaching and dialogue. Audiences will be entertained, to be sure, but, more importantly, they will be given a vision of an alternative Christianity, one that is woefully lacking in today’s world—this alternative is a Christianity of adventurous theology, passionate faithfulness, postmodern wit, and unrelenting concern for the justice and peace that God offers.
This is a great opportunity to get a better grasp of the Emergent movement and meet some of the key players in person.
