Winner Of 2006 Canadian Blog Award- Best Religious Blog
I am thrilled and humbled by winning the 2006 Canadian Blog Award in the category of Best Religious Blog. I have been blogging at (e)mergent Voyageurs for just over a year and a half, but it has opened the world to many great people, changing the very nature of my work as a result. It has challenged me to wrestle with both the ideas and practice of my faith. It has led to conflicts with some, partnerships with others. It has been a great blessing. Thank you to everyone who voted for me and reads here.
As I am sure a few new people will come this way as a result of this win, I thought I would introduce them to some of the highlights of the blog. Here are a few of my favourites:
My Life: This is an introduction of who I am and where I came from. It might give you some context about the rest of the things I write. In three parts – Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
What’s In A Name: Many people ask why I picked the name “(e)mergent Voyageurs” for the blog, so this post answers that question. Link.
Imagining An Urban Seminary: This series was made excellent by the conversation that occurred in the comment area, so be sure to check them out too. In three parts – Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
What Is The Gospel?: While I am considering other post on it, this is my favourite series. I think this is a question that is not nearly discussed enough. In four parts – Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.
Emerging Church & Nationalism: In this post I believe I offer a genuinely Canadian perspective on the impact of nationalism/patriotism on faith. Link.
Homosexuality & The Church: This series drew more attention than anything else I have ever written, but given the topic, I was amazed at the generous and respectful nature the comment conversations took. Well worth the read. In three parts – Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
The Land Of Mystery: These are two short stories I wrote to illustrate our relationship with Truth. In two parts – Part 1, Part 2.
So, thanks again!
