In the Coracle

Followup discussions about race and power at Off the Map Live

November 8, 2007 // Tags: Uncategorized

There is a very good discussion happening at the Off the Map Live blog at the moment. There are great thoughts on including and learning from marginalized voices - specifically at events like OTML.

Here are two specific entries that I recommend to you:

Matt is one of my pastors, and I value his thoughts, words and experiences on this topic. I highly recommend that you digest both of these threads, and participate in the discussions!

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.
