3 sides to every story

One of my favourite writers these days is The Suburban Christian, Al Hsu. His blog and book have been travelling companions for me. Today I read a piece from him that was truly enlightening.
Al posted reports on the same conversation from pastors on the traditional fundamentalist and emergent perspectives. It shows just how far we need to go to even be able to engage with one another effectively, let alone come to understanding and acceptance.
I find myself wishing I could interpret what I think both sides are saying for the benefit of the other. Not that I have the ability or credibility to accomplish that, though I do have some allegiances with both camps and their positions.
I'm really hoping there will be a pile of comments posted on Al's blog to further this discussion.
