In the Coracle

Blogging through “The Celtic Way of Evangelism”. Again.

June 25, 2007 // Tags: Celtic, Incarnational/Missional, Reading, Spirituality

I’ve been looking forward to re-reading George Hunter’s excellent book “The Celtic Way of Evangelism” as soon as I saw it on the reading list for my Celtic Trail course at Bakke.Â I blogged a summary of this book previously, and pointed to an interview with Hunter in this brief post.

I deeply resonate with this book.Â I re-read the first two chapters tonight (in my newest ‘happy place’, the hammock in my back yard overlooking the mountain).Â I wanted to blog through the book in a bit more detail, to make me slow down and savor the experience.Â And also to give what few readers I still have left something to actually read through
So, if you’d like to join in, I’d love to have you along for the ride. Pull out your own dogeared copy or if - may God forgive you for this - you don’t have a copy, pick one up.Â The book is here at Amazon, though I can’t recommend highly enough that you order it from Bean Books.Â You’ll get a fine deal and help out a genuinely good business run by a great guy.

So, on with the summary.

Introduction

Welcome! I'm Pat, and I'll be your host here. Please comment on what you see here. I am a lay missionary to North Bend on the east side of Seattle, a husband, dad to 2 kids, a software test architect for DeepRockDrive, a web software company that does live, interactive concerts streamed over the Internet. I'm also a failed and (quite possibly future) church planter and a Doctor of Ministry student with Bakke Graduate University, and usually on this blog we discuss Christian spirituality (especially of the Celtic, post-Evangelical, post-Charismatic and neo-monastic flavors), photography, motorcycles, and other oddball things.

About the Coracle

The ancient Celts traveled in coracles - handmade, wooden framed and hide-covered boats, to journey where the trinitarian God led them. Though the transportation was simple, the journey was profound. This image is an illustration of the way I experience God's guidance - an invitation to travel with him on his paths, not mine; at his pace, not mine.
