A Very Full Spring Schedule

February 6, 2008

We don’t normally go to so many shows and events, but it must be the possibility that this is our last time to live in this area of the country, or perhaps we just felt like going a little crazy. But here are the cool things we’ll be doing between now and May.

Anglimergent

February 6, 2008

After noticing that insane and overwhelming popularity of presbymergent, Karen Ward is behind the efforts in the recent launch of a similar group for Anglicans: Anglimergent. Anglimergent has launched as a “relational network of Anglicans engaging emerging church and mission.” Anglimergent.ning.com (live now) is a peer2peer site for deep conversations among emerging Anglican practitioners of [...]

Tom Brokaw and NBC Miss the Boat

I’m a little late with this, but some of you may not have watched the segment on NBC Nightly News featuring the emerging church movement (more detailed interview with the pastor can be found here).

Can presbymergent Save the PC(USA)?

November 21, 2007

An Emerging Profession: Trying to write a PIF

He chose to write about ordained ministry, role of ministers in the church emerging, etc. I think it will be a good conversation. [...]

Songs for a Revolution of Hope

October 25, 2007

I’ve written about songwriting before, but it’s still a huge issue in the musical worship of our churches. It’s been awhile since I’ve led worship on a regular basis in a church - but when I think back to the songs I used to lead, they were all very individualistic, focused on “me and Jesus” [...]
