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.

Nice Phil, thanks for sharing this. I freely admit I was a baby in most of this stuff until I got to know you- though with a lifelong respect for the Holy Spirit's presence, even if not always expressed as it is in pentecostal circles. I sometimes wonder if more emerging churches aren't moving in this direction already, but don't know what to call themselves. I've felt that way at the Crossing a number of times during our prayer.
My big question is what folks see as the range of theological options within Pentecostal/Charismatic movements today.
So is this worth reviving a synchroblog for?
I'm doing research on what happened to the charismatic movement, which may not be unrelated. My research project is described here Charismatic Renewal: Khanya
Steve,
I would say yes. Shall we resurrect a synch?
Phil
