I think an interesting difference between 'emergent' and 'emerging'. Wood Lake books, publishing arm of the United Church of Canada has published a few books in the vein 'of emerging christianity' asking how we do faith in light of theories of 'emer…

John Thank you for replying. Are you a freelance writer? If so I would like to pick your brain as I am trying to find my way into that world. I think the church will have to die some before it can be reborn. And i think what will emerge 50 years fr…

One idea that was floated was to sell the building and use the money to rent a huge presentation room in a loop high-rise that was wide open on Sundays. It would have been worship in the tower. This was only one idea, but I thought it was cool.

Profile Information

Hometown:
Richmond, Va
About Me:
I am a 31 year old MA in Theology student. I am currently writing my MA thesis on the Martin Luther's Theology of the cross from the perspective of the theopoetic.
Prefered Network (link to your facebook, myspace, blogger profile):
http://www.facebook.com/home.php
Who am I? (Many ways to answer this -- be as creative as you want, or not.)
I am an ordained Minister in the Progressive Christian Alliance, an post-denominational denomination with a focus on the inclusitivity of Christ and on social justice while maintaining a value of theological diversity. I am a theologian in affiliation with the PCA, authoring public statements and theological questing.
How did I get into "emerging ministry"?
New Cosmology allows new room to investigate the Old Old Story. I feel called to read scripture in one had, the newspaper in the other and nature and the universe on kitchen counter. Emerging thought allows us to hold these tensions together in a place of mutual inquirey.
Say a little bit about the community you share life with...
Christ Church Cathederal - Anglican Cathederal....love this place. The SoulSpace group is my crew! Loving, welcoming, intelligent and passionate. Good people. A open space for Christians of all stripes - gay and straight, conservative and liberal, emerging and not.
What are the most pressing questions (both theological and practical) you and your community have?
The sacramental inclusion of Gay and Lesbian people.
Being Diverse and United.
What is Progressive?
What does it mean to be ordained?
What is ministry

Hi...again

I signed up here ages ago. I've never really been all that active on it though. Im not as 'web savy' as some. I know as an 'emerging' generation person i am supposed to be - and i do love my facebook, podcasts (Homebrewed Christianity and The Onion mostly).

I became Lutheran in university thanks to campus ministry before going off to seminary (Vancouver School of Theology) and then spent a year at Simon Fraser University as teh Lutheran/Anglican Chaplin Assistant - though i was the only person… Continue
