The New Christians by Tony Jones

Tony Jones has a new book coming out in March 2008. Tony was gracious enough to send me an advanced reader’s copy (in advance of an upcoming podcast) and I devoured it in 3 sittings. While I’m prone to hyper-active spurts of exaggeration, in this particular instance I’m afraid I’ll understate things. I think The [...]

An Emerging Profession: An Addendum

If you haven’t had a chance yet, you really need to give the other bloggers a read from the thoughts that they shared today.
The other bloggers are Adam Walker Cleaveland (www.pomomusings.com), Carol Merritt (www.tribalchurch.org), Wess Daniels (www.gatheringinlight.com), Julie Clawson (www.julieclawson.com), and Jonny Baker (www.jonnybaker.blogs.com).
I’d specifically like to mention Jonny Baker’s listing of some general comparisons [...]

An Emerging Profession: Top Down Hierarchies & Flat Worlds

Drew Ditzel of Hawks, Dawgs, and Jesus is writing his final paper for a class at Columbia Theological Seminary for a class on Emerging Church Models. Part of the stipulations of the paper is that he’s supposed to consult 5 or more bloggers (this is my kind of class). He’s asked me as well as [...]

19 Theses

Instead of just linking to this, I went ahead and just copied the whole thing. Better chance of you reading it. This is good stuff. Really, really good stuff. You can find the original here. It’s Walter Brueggemann’s 19 Theses. It’s from the 2004 Emergent Theological Conversation. I’ve listened to it before but I forgot [...]

Mark Driscoll vs. the Fifteen Winkers

We’ve now got 15 winkers (Me, Adam, Kay, Doug, Kyle, Andrew, Tony, Mike, Will, Bro. Maynard, Jay, Josh C, Blake, Joe, Nick).
And one peace sign giver.
And just for the record, I’m not taking this too seriously. I’m so tired of all of these churchy/blogger schmohawks* getting their undies in a wad and reading into everything [...]

Kathy Griffin

Do you remember when you used to have to take those standardized tests? There would always be one of these types of quetions . . . “Hot is to cold as tall is to _____.”
The answer is short by the way.
But The Nick & Josh Podcast is to the Emerging Church what Kathy Griffin is [...]

Mark Driscoll This Wink Is For You

This is me winking (context) to the caricature that Driscoll has become (McLaren, Pagitt, & even choir boy Rob Bell are now all heretics).
I tag all of my friends who run in this circle of friends to wink with me and to start a huge movement of bloggers who are collectively winking at the tom [...]
