Agreed, Mike. A lot of times I get an uncomfortable feeling that we have crossed over into linguistic condescension re: our theologies and conversations. And I hate to see that. Especially when I discover that I have been engaging in it.

Tony Jones on The Church in the Present Tense
Tony Jones is an ecclesiologist. He blogs and serves as the theologian in residence at Solomon's Porch in Minneapolis. His second book on the ECM drops in August, 2011: The Church Is Flat: The Relational Ecclesiology of the Emerging Church Movement. It turns out that David Fitch is disappoi...

David Fitch on The Church in the Present Tense
What has Become of the Emerging Church? The Problem of the Never Ending Tolerant Conversation By David Fitch The emerging church frustrates me. Perhaps this is my problem because I am expecting it be something it was never intended to be. Nonetheless, the emerging church frustrates me because...
"First, he remains aloof from the planet's plight "
Huh? That's actually the opposite of the purpose and message of the parable. Thbe ones "left behind in heaven" are those who want heaven to be an "escape"...God actually takes the rest BACK TO EARTH. Also, I seem to notice Jesus told MANY parables illustrating examples of NOT being faithful.
And Rollins does not "consign" anybody to hell. The whole "heaven-hell" dichotomy is the problemn being highlighted here, and the idea of "believing the right stuff" and thus getting a "seat" in heaven vs actually ministering to the world where we are....the "heaven" being portrayed is actually a place of setting aside the call to minister to those around us.

Pete Rollins' cartoon rapture - advertising Insurrection on the back of a non-biblical parable #pyrotheology #gb11
Just seen the Rapture vid which Pete Rollins has sent out via his Vimeo site. It's a piece of viral advertising, I suppose. But I have to say it is so unbiblical that it took my breath away! An advertising gimick...mmm...well, I suppose it worked if it gets me posting on it and so advertising h...
That being said, I don't want to use that as a deflection. I'm just not sure we can get too far on moving into praxis by working on our language about it, but I certainly think, as talk goes, it's a crucial question. So I want push back on that issue. I'm prone to "talking it" and leaving it there all too often.

My first reaction at http://wp.theoblogical.org/?p=7607 (In a nutshell, my first quesiton is "exactly who IS effective at moving from conversation into praxis (in terms of movements)?

I Miss the iMonk
Blogdom is simply not as interesting, challenging or as much fun without Michael Spencer's voice. And I really miss our email conversations. Sigh.
Shane,
I'm a bit surprised that you would go so far as to assume a smile from someone you don't even know is a "smirk" ---When you say " I really tried hard to give Brian the benefit of the doubt four years ago-- I'm not sure I could do it now." I can tell by your readiness to call his smile a "smirk" kind of tells that tale already.
