Blogging Heads... McLaren and Land

[This is a great application for the new video format at BloggingHeads.TV...]




NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--An innovative Internet video technology provided a venue Aug. 20 for a real-time "diavlog" between Brian McLaren, an author and leader in the Emerging Church movement, and Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. The two men, usually considered to be on opposite ends of the political spectrum, conducted a town-hall discussion on the proper role of religion in modern politics.

The technology featured on bloggingheads.tv allows speakers to interact before an Internet audience in a split-screen video format. Dan Gilgoff, politics editor for beliefnet.com, tapped Land and McLaren for the event because they already are blogging separately on beliefnet.com.

McLaren and Land, both of whom are listed on Time Magazine's Most Influential Evangelicals list, seemed to agree on several points, including the media's lack of understanding about evangelical Christians and unhelpful stereotypes rooted in "liberal/conservative" and "left/right" labels.

Because the meaning of terms like "progressive," "conservative" and "liberal" vary from person to person, McLaren and Land began their dialogue with a discussion of those terms.
