Left-leaning Christians to rally around 'Wild Goose'
DURHAM, N.C. (RNS) It's summer. It's hot. It's the South.
That must mean it's time for an old-fashioned camp meeting.
Next week (June 23-26), the bygone staple of the tent revival will
be reincarnated on a bucolic North Carolina farm as The Wild Goose
Festival. Nearly 10 years in the making, the festival is an attempt to
reimagine Christianity for the 21st century under a bigger, wider more
inclusive tent.
The four-day festival is expected to draw thousands of young campers
and some of the leading lights of the so-called Emergent Christianity
movement.
