Tall Skinny Kiwi: D.A. Carson and the Australians

July 21, 2005

D.A. Carson and the Australians

Mike Frost and Alan Hirsch have written a statement of where they stand on the whole D.A. Carson VS. EmergentVillage saga and Carson's book "Becoming Conversant With Emergent. They explain why they think Carson's assessment of Emergent is "irrelevant for the missional church in Australia." They also claim to be more theologically conservative and mission focused than Emergent Village in USA. HT: Hamo
UPDATE: I have removed the link to the PDF Statement at the request of Hamo - who asks that others do likewise.
