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 [...]

Apply this to Emergent, Emerging, Missional, New Monastic or any expression of contemporary Christianity

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.

white males having their say for the first time in history

Any similarity with current discussions in the emerging/emergent church circles is pure coincidence. Or is it?
… for the first time in history well educated, affluent, white males will have their say.

The New Conspirators - Tuesday Book Review

The New Conspirators : Creating the Future one Mustard Seed at a Time by Tom Sine
“In spite the fact that our world is changing at blinding speed and the church is going through some very tough times, God is still at work in ways that aren’t always immediately apparent. For some reason, God seems to [...]

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 [...]
