Tony Jones forum follow-up

March 7th, 2006 | Comments (3) | Trackbacks (1) |


Being home, attending Valley Church and its new(ish) college ministry, and conversing with/ listening to Tony Jones was amazing.

Sunday night, he spoke to the church’s high school group about humanizing versus objectifying people.

Monday, however, was where it was at. Tony spoke to and fielded questions from a small group of area youth pastors and volunteers for nearly three hours on Monday morning. Topics ranged from Tony’s life story to postmodernity to theology of the cross to the emerging church to methodology (how to “do” youth ministry).

There’s really no way I could sum up everything here, but I did take notes (unfortunately, the conversation was not recorded). If you’re up to trying to decipher my notes, you can download them here (in Rich Text Format). Some of it probably won’t make sense out of context, and if I had more time on my hands, I would annotate the notes but that’s just not an option at the moment.

Thanks to Brandon Barker for having the courage to invite Tony into your house and church, and thanks to Tony Jones for having the courage to rethink important Christian issues and talk openly about them.

YEAH!!!! I’m celebrating from my couch (well don’t have one so bed but let’s be honest was your couch really a couch?) about the post and about the new changes.

I’m completely bummed that I didn’t get to participate in the Tony Jones forum. I look forward to our conversations this summer.
