This is a brief follow-up to the Apprising Ministries post Emerging Church Theologian Leonard Sweet To Speak At Pastor Skip Heitzig’s Calvary Chapel Church where I linked to New Age Sympathizer Leonard Sweet To Speak at Pastor Skip Heitzig’s Calvary Chapel Church from Lighthouse Trails Research. There we’re told:

This coming June, Calvary Chapel Albuquerque (a veteran Calvary Chapel church pastored by Skip Heitzig) will host the National Worship Leader Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico and will feature New Age sympathizer and emerging church leader, Leonard Sweet. The NWLC event will take place in three different U.S. locations with Sweet participating in two of them. (Online source)

After looking this information over I ran a teaser with a link back to the LTR post because it did, indeed, check out. Today however, I was contacted by Nelson Walker, who is a pastor at Calvary of Albuquerque (CoA) where Skip Heitzig is Senior Pastor. 

What pastor Walker told me was that CoA happens to have “beautiful facilities” that are also sometimes used by others, which would be the case of this National Worship Leader Conference. He told me that this was not a CoA event, but even so, Leonard Sweet has been asked “not to speak though he will be in attendance.”

Pastor Walker said that CoA was not, and is not, supportive of the Emerging Church.
