Tony Jones gets Pentecostal (well, gets pentecostal studies going)

Tony and I had some discussions about the topic of Pentecostalism and the Emergent Church/Dialogue a couple years ago.  I am probably late in seeing this, but now Tony is studying the topic to present a paper.

Tony was not particularly comfortable in Pentecostal settings at that time, and was open in saying so when he was with us for conference.  Follow this link and add your thoughts to the discussion at his blog if you like.  I did.  Then again I have blogged about this topic in the past, and speak as being one of those pesky Pent-emergents.

See my previous posts:
