Check out cool Christianity this summer April 16, 2008
Posted by Zack in Missouri , trackbackThis summer will be filled with plenty of speaking tours, music festivals and conferences all over the country that will be open and friendly opportunities for those outside the church to observe the Revolution in Jesusland for themselves. Maybe I will try to get a wiki page up to list them.
Here’s one example of a tour that would be great for anyone to check out—and they’re going through a ton of cities and towns:

Three authors/friends/public speakers hit the road for a summer, barnstorming churches around the country in a cross between an old time tent revival and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Speaking at churches large and small, Tony, Doug, and Mark will present a 90-minute show (including a 20-minute intermission) that will combine humor and passion, speaking and video, preaching and dialogue. Audiences will be entertained, to be sure, but, more importantly, they will be given a vision of an alternative Christianity, one that it woefully lacking in today’s world—this alternative is a Christianity of adventurous theology, passionate faithfulness, postmodern wit, and unrelenting concern for the justice and peace that God offers.

Um, “Blue Collar Comedy”? If these guys are blue collar, I’m the Queen of England. I wonder why they’re trying to bring that in — it’s completely unnecessary to their message.
