Yet, this conference topic and invitation appear to be bringing two their different views to a tipping point.

We will know more in a few weeks I suppose.

Excuse me. I am not denying nor have I ever denied that a link exists. From the beginning of this exchange I have only tried to dispute your declaration that Tomes is a proxy spokesman for TC. One thing I can say definitively is that Tomes has found his own voice in the aftermath of Whistler, and that is both good and needed for churches to positively grow and prosper.

Now that does not mean that I agree with everything Tomes says. In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre, he posted a number of blogs against gun ownership by evangelical Christians in the US, and I don't happen to agree with these views of his, especially coming from north of the border. His article indicates that Christians south of the border might not have brains. That message may well suit his Canadian brothren, but some of my American brothers treasure their 2nd amendment rights as much as the 1st.

Anyways, Cass ... did you register for the conference?
