I will be participating in a panel discussion called "Questioning the Answers: the emerging church critique of evangelicalism" on Thursday, Sept. 20th at 7pm in the northwest suburbs. It's hosted by up/rooted, the Chicago area emerging cohort.
Here is the announcement sent out by Jon Bernbaum at up/rooted north.
The panel discussion will be on the emerging church's critiques of evangelicalism, and consideration of the way forward. The panelists are Scot McKnight, professor at North Park University and prodigious blogger and author; Wayne Johnson, professor and director of the MDiv program at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and former dean of students; and Dave Fitch, professor at Northern Baptist Seminary, pastor at Life on the Vine, and slightly less prodigious blogger and author.
Each of us will critique a particular response of the emerging church to evangelicalism (think issues of authority, church structure, worship, preaching, role of Scripture, etc.) and we'll get a chance to engage in open discussion with everyone on these crucial issues.
Come out and join us as we gather together around the emerging conversation on Thursday evening, September 20th at 7pm at Life on the Vine in Long Grove, IL.

Scot,
The last three links in the post need to be corrected. They concatenate the intended URLs with the blog URL.
This should be interesting, I'm looking forward to it.
I am looking forward to it, too.
Looking forward to it. This will be my first experience of up/rooted as well.
just heard your talk "the whole gospel" on the emergent podcast. i can't wait to hear you in person at this event. i have been slowly, skeptically circling this whole "emerging" phenomena and your comments about not reducing the gospel to sin vs. the cross has helped me see that there may be something worth getting more involved in. thank you.
