The rantings, musings, poems, and arguments of a dude who was a drywall salesman and is now a pastor. Journey from 2004-2010.
From an ecumenical point of view I liked what Tony Jones said very much i.e. "investing in all that God is doing". The only question is that Brian McLaren is a self-annointed Emergent leader in the church and he is unabashedly an ultra-leftist. I see great flaws on the right and the left in politics and Tony seems to agree. Shouldn't this be an understanding in Emergent churches? Do you feel that Brian McLaren does the movement justice?
hi Jim Jordan! Thank you for taking the time to post.i like the ecumenical point of view. too closed-minded on the left or right-wing is intolerable for me. I'm still on the fence about McLaren. I think he's working out some issues from is fundamentalist/literalist upbringing... and i have a lot of sympathy for that as i'm constantly doing the same.i must keep reading, as i'm rather new to this whole emergent/emerging thing and need to check all these guys out. i'll make that my summer reading!
