GJ - From Wikipedia:
"Ortberg earned his undergraduate degree from Wheaton College, and his M.Div. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary. He has also studied at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. From 1985 to 1990 he served as senior pastor at Simi Valley Community Church, and then from 1990 to 1994 at Horizons Community Church. He then moved from California to Illinois to serve as a teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church until 2003, when he assumed his current role at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, a multi-campus church in Northern California.[5]"
He touched ALL the bases to write a book worthy of study under Glende's leadership: Babtist at Wheaton, Fuller Seminary, Willow Creek, and Presbyterian Church duties. It is multi-site, which makes it kosher for Emerging Church.
For something to be kosher for Emerging Church, it has to be multi-site.
What a relief. I thought maybe Glende would have the women studying something irrelevant and out of date, like the Confessions, or something written by a faithful Lutheran.
Some clever pastors use the sheep-dip method. Take a WELSian or Missourian and get him thoroughly brain-washed at Fuller or Willow Creek, preferably both. Then have him write a book. Next present it as an exciting book by a faithful Lutheran pastor, Rev. Smiley. If a discerning layman or woman sees through the charade, shout, "Are you calling him a false teacher?" Look angry. Frown. Scowl. Rustle papers. Look disgusted. Shun the evildoer.
