There are many places in the world that I would love to travel to. Between my wife and my immediate family, I’m the only one who hasn’t been to Iona – and I think there is something wrong with that. However, another well-known worshipping community that I would love to visit some day is Taizé. [...]

I’ve started up a new site and wanted to let you know about it. Just recently have I mentioned on this site that, for the past 10 years, I’ve been dealing with psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic disease that affects about 7.5 million Americans. This June, I’ll be walking in the National Psoriasis Walk for [...]

I can’t believe you, Shane Hipps! You think only 18 people are upset about your recent comments?! Make it 19, Shane. I can’t BELIEVE you don’t believe virtual community is community. And you think Twitter is narcissistic? I’d be offended if I thought what YOU thought was half as important as what I think…wow Shane. [...]

When I’m talking about Facebook, or explaining it to someone who may not be familiar with the social network, it generally comes up that I have a lot of connections on Facebook. As of December 8, 2008, I have 1478 “Friends” on Facebook. Now, many people handle their Friend Requests differently on social networking sites [...]

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).

I met Joe Myers a few years ago at an Emergent event and have enjoyed getting to know him since then, as we’ve run into each other a couple times and as I’ve had the chance to read both of his great books, The Search to Belong (short review here) and his newest book, Organic [...]

Sarah and I enjoy listening to NPR podcasts when we go on long drives, our favorite being Speaking of Faith. However, we also listen to This I Believe sometimes. At the beginning of January we decided that we would both write one and submit it. I had plans all month to create a beautiful, deep [...]

I thought I would put up some of the notes I took during Volf’s dialogue with Tony and with others (Danielle Shroyer, Tim Keel, Anthony Smith). Some of these are Volf’s thoughts and comments and then I have some additional stuff that I wrote while the conversation was taking place. It’s a bit of a [...]
