Tim Challies points out that Doug Pagitt and Bob DeWaay are going to do a public debate on the emerging church movement, to be held in the Twin Cities.
Perhaps I'm a pessimist, but I don't have high hopes for much fruit to come from this. I can think of lots of examples where evangelicals have nuanced their critique after listening to emergent proponents, but I'm not sure I can think of any situations where the situation is reversed. So I'm not sure what will be changed by this debate. But again, maybe I'm just too pessimistic.
