Emergent… it’s time to start looking for a saddle (a death of post)

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

There’s a couple things I want to mention before I start. First, since my posts now go to facebook as notes, I’ve gotten some more personal responses from people that didn’t read my blog previously but have been following me since I started moving into the facebook area as well. To these people, and to [...]

Why I am not a Christian

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I bought Bertrand Russel’s “Why I Am Not a Christian” today. I had gone in looking for some Kierkegaard and a book of logic puzzles (they’re calming for me), I think I shocked myself with the selection I walked out with. (I did get the logic puzzle book though) Why would I pick up “Why [...]

Community Theology

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

If you’ve read Pete Rollins‘ latest book, “The Orthodox Heretic, and other impossible tales,” then you’ll know how challenging that book can be mentally. There’s something powerful about Rollins use of parables to really mess with you, and really screw up your day. From the first parable on, there is plenty of challenging material there [...]

updated thoughts on this whole mess

Friday, June 5th, 2009

It’s been a crazy day, we’ve heard lots of voices chime in on the “Disappointed Emergent” issue, it’s been a bit overwhelming to see them all. I’ve done my best to read through them, as well as the subsequent comments, and I’ve come to the conclusion this conversation was necessary. It was needed. That does [...]

Adding my two cents into the “disappointed emergent” conversation.

Friday, June 5th, 2009

So, every few months we manage to find one post and it creates some massive waves around the emergent/ing blogosphere. We (at this point in time I speak for emergenT) seem to really like the posts that have to do with emergent dying. I wrote one of those myself (unfortunetely all the comments were lost [...]

drawing lines

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I have the pleasure of being part of quite an interesting cohort. While I imagine (and based of my experiences at a second cohort I’ve been to a few times) most cohorts are, at least theologically, progressive in nature, several of the attendees at the cohort I’m a part of are more conservative in nature. [...]

my hope for emergent village

Monday, April 20th, 2009

There will be a small conference, starting this Friday, with 24 people discussing the future of Emergent Village. I wanted to take a minute and type out some thoughts/hopes for the future of EV, since it’s been instrumental in much of the conversation and many of the friendships I have grown into over the past [...]

Did I kill emergent?

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

So, there I am, just hanging out at work, and all the sudden I get an email. Who is it from? Emergent Village. (Emergent/C Newsletter) “Ok,” I say to myself (not outloud of course, becuase that’s just wierd to talk to yourself out loud in public… if I were at home I probably would have [...]

Cobb Cohort meets Tuesday

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

They haven’t updated the main website but, according to the facebook group page, we will be meeting Tuesday night at Johnnie MacCrackens, 7:00. If last months meeting was of any indication, showing up a tad bit earlier than 7:00 will probably be of great benefit. If there are as many people as there were last [...]
