The New Conspirators : Creating the Future one Mustard Seed at a Time by Tom Sine

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 [...]

Where the Spirit Leads - Latino Pentecostals

Where the Spirit Leads, Sojourners Magazine/April 2008
Where the Spirit Leads
Pentecostals may be the least known and most unpredictable group on the landscape.

The New Conspirators - hot off the press!

The New Conspirators
Book by Tom Sine
“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed,” Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew, “nothing will be impossible for you.”
