Brian McLaren in the Charlotte Observer

Brian McLaren has "emerged" as leading voice in the faith community over the past few years. And while he likes to lay out his theology in just about every book he writes, it feels like his views on many areas are sort of evolving before our very eyes. Last week he did an interview with the Charlotte Observer. Maybe it was because of the timeliness of the interview (South Carolina primaries last week), but McLaren got asked (and shared) his opinions on EVERYTHING, from faith and politics to Christians and homosexuality to WWJD bracelets. This one is worth checking out - it feels like one of those "definitive" interviews you'll want to refer back to later...

Too bad you didn't come to Charlotte, Jason. We had a great time, and learned a lot. Not only from Brian (and he was fantastic), but from each other. If there are other tours in your area, I'd recommend that you check one out and share your wisdom!

I'll check out the interview. If it's anything like the book club book we read, I thought he was pretty off-base.

I enjoyed that interview more than the book. However, the idea that some Muslims are only "mean-spirited" seems a bit naive. I wanted to finish the book because I originally planned to go to Charlotte for the tour. After reading the book however, I think I'll take the money and go see another 3D show.
