I promise this won’t turn into another Mark Driscoll rant – if you want something like that, I’m pretty sure you couldn’t find something like that on this site. I ran across a link to a new podcast of Mark Driscoll on Bob’s blog – I don’t agree with much of his analysis. Driscoll is [...]

I’m glad I had the chance to read this book, and I continue to look forward to more Emergent books that come out using the collaborative method of writing. I will be blogging through some chapters of An Emergent Manifesto [...]

Karen Ward: Communal Theology
Karen’s chapter was fun to read because one can clearly see how important the role of community is to COTA (Church of the Apostles). In her chapter, and in the life of her church, she draws heavily [...]

Mark Driscoll: Biblicist Theology
I just don’t get this guy. I really wonder why Zondervan asked Driscoll to be a part of this book, and I have to wonder why Driscoll said yes. Mark apparently thinks that the number of Biblical citations is directly proportional to how faithful his chapter actually is to [...]
I received an email last week from an Associated Press reporter who had been referred to my blog via Dave, who was also contacted by the same reporter. She was writing an article on Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church, and she had been doing a bit of internet research. While I’m certainly not the [...]
I’ve written before about Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church. I’ve worshipped at Mars Hill before, with my cousin and his wife who attend the church. My best friend (who was my Best Man at my wedding) also is very involved with the church – so I know there are some great people who attend [...]
Brian McLaren found something out this week that unfortunately, I’ve had the pleasure of learning about as well: you can’t blog about homosexuality and have an actual conversation. I wish it were possible, but it hasn’t seemed possible here on this blog. Brian set out to write about homosexuality from a pastoral perspective (article here) [...]
Apparently Mark Driscoll, from Mars Hill in Seattle, is NOT a feminist. Huh. Gosh, he really had me going for a bit there too.
We do not believe in feminism because we believe that men should responsibly lead homes and churches with sacrificial love like Jesus
Christ.
For more on what Mark and the Resurgence Missional Theology Conference [...]
There has been some good discussion going on about what makes a church “emergent” because of a post I did on Mars Hill Church and my experience there. However, I may have stuck my foot in my mouth a bit, and I’d like to recant [a bit].

As one who is more open to those [...]
Rudy Carrasco asked the question on UrbanOnramps a few weeks ago, of whether Mars Hill Church is emergent or not? He wrote: “Mars Hill Church is going to make us define what we mean by “emerging.” Does it mean somewhere between fundamentalist and liberal theologies? Is it a worship style? Is it a way to [...]
