Share There is a lot of talk about the emerging church; what it is, what it is becoming, what it isn’t, who is and isn’t a part of it. After walking with all sorts of people who are engaged in this particular conversation, I am not sure that the word “emerging” captures what the Spirit [...]

ShareHere is a short video with Brian McLaren and Spencer Burke sharing their excitement and thoughts about the upcoming Emerging Church Conference in New Mexico, March 20-22. What excites me is the conversation that will ensue when progressive Roman Catholics, Mainline Liberals, and Evangelical Conservatives come together to listen, learn, and grow in friendship with [...]

Share Alchemy, in part, entails physical experiments involving destroying the subject, extracting its essence and re-forging it as something stronger, more whole. What would postmodern church-alchemists look like? Church structural experimenters who break down the institutional church, extracting its essence and re-forging it for our time as something stronger, purer, more whole. Hmmm. Looks like [...]

ShareOn of the things I appreciate about Emergent is their openness to honestly engage those who disagree with them—even offering an open critic-invitation for dinner in their homes. One of their values is to never turn down an invitation from their critics for honest dialog. This value has landed them on many a radio show [...]

ShareJust an FYI….If you are into the emerging church, trying to gauge what is happening in the postmodern church, or just plain curious, here is a link where you can print and read chapter one of Tony Jones’ book, The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier. Scott Mcknight said regarding the book, “from now [...]

Share OK, so here is my vent. I fully realize that it is in our human nature to label and define and fragment just about everything into tidy boxes so we can then pass judgment, create an “in” and an “out”, an us and them. But just because I get it does not mean I [...]

Share Citrus C Monster. Sometimes, there is nothing a body needs more, especially when recovering. At least that is how my body felt today after chugging 15.2 OZ of this elixir-of-life. I’ve noticed that my body does a pretty good job of telling me what it is needing, and not needing, at any given time. [...]
