Ingrid began this edition of Crosstalk by featuring a recorded interview she conducted with emergent pastor Doug Pagitt, pastor of Solomon's Porch in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He's also the co-author of a book entitled, Emergent Manifesto of Hope.
Doug discusses how he feels the gospel is understood and embedded within other social and spiritual systems. He also discusses his disagreement with the concept of the depravity of man, as well as his definition of the gospel,
Another part of the program features a portion of an interview with Dave Fleming, once a conservative evangelical pastor who eventually began to embrace a wider spirituality.
In the end we're left with this question: Does the emergent church represent a new manifesto of hope or confusion? Pastor Bob DeWaay of Twin City Fellowship in Minneapolis, Minnesota, joins Ingrid to help answer that question, bringing clarity and discernment concerning this new movement that's challenging the Church today.
