5:55 p.m. (PT): Hugh Hewitt broadcast his show live from Biola University, and it was standing-room only. He interviewed a number of attendees, and I was supposed to be one of them. But I missed my queue. I was being interviewed by someone else at the time, so I’m only a little upset. 
Lots of interviews. I did one for a documentary and may have one lined up for a journalist’s book. No, it’s not all about me; great conversations going on, and I’ll fill you in later.
7:48 p.m.: I’m blogging this from a panel moderated by Hugh Hewitt. Panelists are John Mark Reynolds, Mark Roberts (who wrote an article I referenced for one I’m writing), and Tom Bolsinger.
Charmaine Yoest is live-blogging. I arrived late; hanging out with the girls. Sarcasmagorical is also live-blogging (very detailed).
The panel is discussing some of the pitfalls of Christian blogging. How do you handle “fame”? All three are pastors, and they’re talking about blogging and accountability. Hugh is asking a series of questions. The most interesting: who shouldn’t blog? Answers: People with a lot of anger, perfectionists, narcissists, those who don’t allow give and take, those who care too much about what others think, people who don’t care about spelling and grammar (this got a lot of laughs, but it’s true!)…
They’re discussing whether pastors should be political. John Mark said he was de-linked by some Christian bloggers after he suggested that people shouldn’t vote for John Kerry (Weird, heh?). Make sure readers know whether you’re blogging for yourself or on behalf of your church or organization.
Most relevant: what is “God blogging?”
Dean Peters is funny. Wish he were here.
