i went and saw phyllis tickle last night at first united methodist church... it was a 'dialogue' with David Crum, a religious writer for the Free Press. wow! i was blown away by Mrs. Tickle. she is extremely well-read, insightful, perceptive, and lively! You'd never guess she was 70.
very difficult to pigeon-hole her as far as the usual categories go! (which illustrates her point precisely)... some of her earlier comments (esp. physical resurrection of the body) had her firmly in the Evangelical world (as i think of it, a-la Wright)... and then other comments reminded me more of Marcus Borg (i think). definitely had me thinking! She's definitely a Jesus-follower.
she's speaking at all 3 of our weekend celebrations... how fun!
