Church Factions in the East and West
March 1st, 2008, No Comments
I’m reading Orthodox Alaska by Michael Oleska for an upcoming class. It’s the story of the Russian Orthodox church’s mission and evangelization into Alaska.
The book makes an interesting comparison between the types of schisms that happen in the East and the West. Food for thought:
In the West, divisions often occur when a faction wants to [...]

The Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune published a nice article on that area’s emerging churches (Solomon’s Porch, Bluer, Spirit Garage, etc).
Sermon//Discussion – How does Jesus train his disciples?
February 2nd, 2006, No Comments
As I wrote a while back, we’re doing a parallel processing exercise at the moment, looking at Jesus from a fresh perspective and discussing our way through all 4 gospels at once.
This past Sunday we discussed the question, “how does Jesus train his disciples?”. I recorded the discussion on my iRiver, did some very [...]

The new book entitled Emerging Churches by Ryan Bolger and Eddie Gibbs has been getting rave reviews in the blogosphere. There’s a nice summary of the book’s 9 Core Practices of emerging churches here. I await delivery of my book.

The Gospel and Our Culture Network (GOCN) has a wonderful working paper about identity markers of missional churches. However I identify with emerging church these days, I have no doubt that we are to be (and I’m called to pastor) a missional church.

Community Journal

Another thing that has captured my attention from Bob Hyatt’s sermon//discussion podcasts was how he introduced their response time: I’m not sure of their liturgy’s flow, but based on what I heard after the discussion there are a few more songs to sing, an opportunity for prayer, and a table holding a community journal [...]
In Praise of Bob Hyatt’s Sermon//Discussions
November 30th, 2005, 1 Comment
In the last day or two I’ve been spending time over at Bob Hyatt’s blog and listening to his podcasts, and finding yet another close relative in this style of church and ministry.
I’ve not yet met Bob in real life or even email, but I do see his comments over on Radical Congruency and other [...]
Summarizing Scot McKnight on the Emerging Church
November 13th, 2005, No Comments
I want to point you to an excellent link: Bob @ Vanguard Church summarizes Scot McKnight’s take on the emerging church in a one-pager. I wish I’d have done this myself, but I didn’t, so I’ll point you at Bob’s excellent summary of Scot’s excellent critique.
Bob’s thing is here.
The second paragraph is:
