Emerging In The Headlines
Due to the unexpected fullness of my schedule of late, I have not had time to post the articles I had slotted for this week. I hope to get back on schedule soon, so thanks for hanging in there. In the mean time, here are a couple of articles that came across my virtual desk today. What are your thoughts?
Analysis: What is the ‘Emerging Church Movement’?
I actually appreciated this article as largely fair and balanced. Most of the “emerging church” Googles News searches turn up less thoughtful and informed critiques. This one is worth the read.
Contemplative service taps wellspring of calm
“A nondenominational Christian worship group uses art, serene music and congregants’ feedback on sermons in its gatherings.” This article is a more traditional news piece on one expression of “emergence”, but still worth the read.
Peace!
You seem like a really nice person, and I know this is completely off topic. But could you tell me what tag you use to put your pictures on your posts? Mine have all recently disappeared off my page, and it appears my tag doesn’t work anymore. Any help is most appreciated.
Wow, I’m impressed – that first article was quite fair (even if it did give a favorable nod to Carson’s book
. In fact, I’d say that was one of the most balanced summaries that I’ve seen to date.
Samson,
Thanks. Blog.com offers three ways of posting images: first, you upload from your computer into the library; second, use images already uploaded; or third, link to images from another site, which is what I usually do. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Peace,
Jamie
Scott,
I agree. Did you see the article in the image? Also very interesting…
Peace,
Jamie
That was also an impressive display of journalism – I’ve always suspected something funny was going on but I think you’ve blown the lid off something major here.
EXACTLY!
Jamie, thanks for posting these articles. i am looking forward to reading them! How are you doing? How is YWAM? Adele
Adele,
Thanks for asking. Things here are well. We are going into probably our busiest month or so in the year. But it is all good busy. Glad to “see” you here, as I haven’t “seen” online in a while.
Peace,
Jamie
The only missing element in Chad’s article would be a reference to the end of the Christendom compact. That is a pretty significant historical development and it is shaping all emergent thought, even where it is not articulated as such.
Len,
I agree, but given the source and scope of the piece, it is a rare look at a fair review.
Peace,
Jamie
