Anglimergence among Episcopalians

 

 
Here is a brief summary/reflection by episcopalian practitioner Tim Mathis of a meeting of radical episcopalians that happened this past weekend (Aug. 14-16) in Church of the Apostles in Seattle.
 
Relatively Faithful: Its all who you know…
This weekend in Seattle there was a gathering of the Emerging Coordinating Team ECG-TEC–a self-appointed, and hopefully soon internationally recognized, [...]

diversity is more than sprinkling a bit of black and brown here or there

Mark does it again with this new satire piece at the Jesus Manifesto. While funny, it is true and very sad.  This part in specific touch very close to home -
These young men, though all around the age of 30 and white, are
diverse in other ways. “We value diversity. In fact, we’re
theologically diverse. We’re all [...]

I don’t want to hear about your movement or buzz, if it does not move people to love and to live alternatively. Show me your love and compassion, not your books and blogs.

Brian McLaren connects Anabaptist and Emergent movements

While I think the title of this article is a little misleading, Submergents have been conspiring this connection for awhile now, is still a very insighful read.  In a recent conversartion with Brian while he was in Seattle, he showed a lot on enthusiasm and interest for Submergent, of which I am part even though [...]

Anglican & Anabaptist

I live in the beautiful tension of being an anglican & anabaptist.

“Greenbelt” like Festival Survey

Some of you are aware of the fantastic Greenbelt Festival in the UK. For the past months I’ve been part of the planning for something similar here in North America. A group of us have put together a survey in a way to listen to wider range of important diverse voices as we continue with [...]
