A friend, who shall remain nameless, and I were wondering why Len Sweet has not really been a part of the the emerging church conversation of late — at least he has not been at the core of it (emergent conventions, gatherings, theological conversations, etc.). I said I think Len is like a doorman: he stands at the door and ushers people into the conversation. My friend said, “Yeah, he’s like the gateway drug to emergent.”
That’s beautiful.
