I'm sitting here at Winebrenner Seminary in Findlay listening to Scot McKnight.
I'll be blogging my thoughts live here for the day...
First issue worth talking about:
When does conversion happen? He's told many stories of conversion and many of them don't fit the processes and 'orthodox' structures that have permeated the church. I am interested in these "un-orthodox" stories as they relate to the recent Young Life push for a Statement of Non-negotiables. Here's a link to Christianity Today's article. I'm hoping to be able to ask him his thoughts on orthodox conversion versus 'non-orthodox' conversion in light of YL's stance on conversion. If I get to ask, I'll try to get a synopsis on the blog.
EDIT: asked the question. And he referred to the Statement of Non-negotiable as the potential bludgeoning and institutionalizing of something that doesn't quite resonate with much of the New Testament. I think the Campus Life table wanted to punch him (and me for asking :) ) It was awesome...
Do you have thoughts after reading the article and perhaps Tony Jones' blog and his thoughts?
Post them here...

Not a big Tony Jones [Emergent]. I have to clarify because I have a friend named Tony Jones who I'm a big fan of.
I'm glad you asked the question and I agree with what Scott said. There is not room for patience and love in the world 'non-negotiable'.
