Last year in Baltimore the Open and Relational Theologies session took a look at the Emerging Church. 
This session involves three conversations, with three participants in each. These conversations pertain to papers written by participants, but there will be no formal reading of the papers. The conversations explore issues in the emergent church as they relate to open and relational theologies.
