That’s Not What I Expected: intense conversation surrounding Rob Bell’s interview

Last night I posted Rob Bell’s interview with Martin Bashir (see previous post) and while I thought a few comments might arise, I didn’t expect anything like the conversation that took place. It was continuous, passionate deep and very engaging.

Although I don’t agree with all of the perspectives presented in the conversation, I really appreciate the dialogue that took place and the respectful nature of it. All too often this sort of discourse turns nasty and goes from being insightful and helpful to useless bickering.

Whether you agree with my perspective or the perspectives of others who posted, thanks for keeping it on the up and up. In many ways that’s what this site is all about. While I definitely don’t claim to have all the answers, It’s fun to dialogue with you about important topics like this.

Thanks for taking the time participate in such a civil discourse.
