In his post An Open Letter to YouthWorks Tony Jones, heretical “theologian in residence” at the emerging church Solomon’s Porch, gives a bit of history concerning YS: Let me join the chorus of voices welcoming Tic Long back to Youth Specialties, now part of the YouthWorks world.  Tic was nothing but gracious to me over my ten years […]

I’ve pointed out many times now that as a general rule, and a courtesy, we do not publish email without the permission of the sender.
