A few weeks back, Adam Ellis (who really needs to update his blog...) pointed me to an online show done by Mark Lowry and Tony Campolo, called Saturdays with Mark and Tony. If you don't know who Tony Campolo is, he is a professor emeritus of Sociology at Eastern University. He's one of the leading liberal-leaning thinkers in Christianity (socially liberal, very conservative Biblically). Mark Lowry may be more unfamiliar to people in my readership. Lowry is a Christian comedian and singer. He's sung with Bill Gaither in the Gaither Vocal Band and on Gaither's (apparently extremely) popular Homecoming series, in addition to his comedy.
I don't know how this "show" got started, but it's Tony Campolo and Mark Lowry sitting together and just discussing things of faith and life. Mark is very modern (in the modern/post-modern) sense and Tony is more post-modern and it's very interesting to hear this discussion. Mark asks a lot of questions from his perspective and really questions Tony about some of his perspectives, particularly if Tony says something that disagrees with the way that Mark has always thought about things. If you've got the time, I highly recommend giving it a listen. It's well worth it.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Mark Lowry/Tony Campolo site. That is too cool.
hmmm, interesting
Ok, so I honestly can't stand listening to it. I never thought I'd see the day when Mark Lowry became a liberal. I use to respect him.
