			<description>As someone who transferred into Union (as it was then) I didn't have the opportunity to take a class under Doug Ottati, who was then taking a sabbatical; but I have been blessed by his writings and his take on where we stand as a church.  However this article asks some hard questions that need to be addressed - where is the liberal church these days, where is it going, and does it have a place in the contemporary church?
I am one who gets tired of the liberal-conservative squabbles and who yearns for a third way, a way that brings people together.  But I have bene nurtured in the liberal camp and find great sustenance there, and wonder where is this branch of the church in these days of the emerging church and the encounter/engagement with postmodernism?  I feel that the mainline church has sat on the sideline of this discussion, leaving the evangelicals to 'have all the fun.' What does the liberal church have to say about this movement/conversation?
