You can find out information about the event here, but it is going to be at Princeton University June 8-10 and it has an amazing lineup of speakers who will be there, including Shane Claiborne, Brian McLaren, Kay Warren, Miroslav Volf, Jay [...]

Everything Must Change Tour & RISK

May 4, 2008

This past weekend, I was able to participate in the Everything Must Change (EMC) Tour, held at the Latino Pastoral Action Center in South Bronx. We had a few folks from the Princeton cohort who went up for the weekend, and I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. It was a great 2-day event, and there [...]

Queer Messages Podcast

April 23, 2008

I’ve mentioned my friend Tony’s site before, Queer Messages. He runs it with Matt, and there are always some interesting things discussed on the site. Recently, there’s been a lot of political banter, probably because Tony is very pro-Hillary and Matt is very pro-Obama. They’re fun, very intelligent and great writers. They recently just started [...]

The Institute on Religion and Democracy: Renewal or Ruin?

March 27, 2008

“Renewal or Ruin?” from Steven D. Martin on Vimeo.
I’d heard of the Institute on Religion and Democracy (IRD) because during my freshman year of college, I contacted a representative from the organization to comment on the persecution of Christians in Sudan. I was writing a paper on the topic, and I had found some [...]

Palestine and Israel Posts

February 2, 2008

Many of you probably know this, but I spent the summer of 2005 in Egypt, Palestine and Israel. During that time, I kept a pretty active blog about my experience, but it was separate from pomomusings. I’ve recently imported in all of those entries and fixed all the photos. If you’re into browsing archives, these [...]

Josh Keaney on the Kingdom of God

January 9, 2008

This post is part of an ongoing guest blogger series on the kingdom of God.

Today, we will hear from Josh Keaney:
“The Kingdom of God is God’s vision for God’s creation and this vision is bigger than the Church.” This is what I tell the youth at my church when explaining the Kingdom of God because [...]

“There’s No Place Like Home”

January 2, 2008

For a class on Forgiveness this semester, I put together a movie based on some footage and photos that I took while in Palestine and Israel during the summer of 2005 and used a song from Jonny Baker’s album “Backbone.” Jonny tells a little more about the track “Home” here on his blog. I haven’t [...]

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” [...]

Justice in the Burbs: A Review

October 22, 2007

I can’t remember when I first met Will Samson, though it may have been at one of the first Emergent Conventions. Since then, he and I have crossed paths numerous times (Princeton Seminary, Yale Divinity School, Emergent Cohorts and other conferences). He and his wife have recently co-written a book entitled Justice in the Burbs. [...]

Yoga, Christians & GodMen

September 13, 2007

In just a few days, classes at Princeton Seminary will start up again, and so I’m trying to enjoy the last few days of freedom until it all begins. I’ve been doing some webdesign, but also doing something else equally important: fixing up all my archives. When I deleted the old Typepad blog, I lost [...]
