Conversation about Walter Rauschenbusch - Brian McLaren
David Evans is a brilliant emerging theologian, African American, currently working with the Mennonite Central Committee and soon to begin PhD work in American religious history.

If you'd like to email him for further dialogue, his email is . - Brian

Enjoy!
