Someone inquired about my blogrolls. Essentially, in no particular order, I try to keep a list of interesting (to me) blogs talking about this thing called the emergent church. Some heavyweights are there, as well as some that, like me, are exploring it more from the outside looking in. I keep two other blogrolls: amusing blogs (just like it says, can be anything), and Presbyterian blogs. The latter is intended to be a list of those talking about things from a Presbyterian perspective. There you will find blogs progressive, liberal, moderate, conservative, and everything in between. That’s intentional, and I plan to keep it that way.
All of these in any of the lists, though, are in my judgment worth a look. Some are better than others, but all will be educational. Enjoy.
I like millinerd myself; that guy was a classmate of mine in seminary. He was always coming into the Christian Ed. library and checking out these old audio tapes of lectures. He’s so smart ’cause he’s always listening to smart people.
I admire you for this, and I can’t currently do it myself. I am . . . uncomfortable dealing with the anger and hostility I’ve read and have been isolating myself to reading similarly-minded folks of late. There are many problems with this, of course, but the major benefit is that I get to avoid the mud-slinging and anger, and be reminded that while I think my denomination is wrong on some issues, there are others within the denomination who believe as I do.
I hope to be able to re-engage in the larger conversation at some point, but not just now.
I’m not sure there’s any right way to do it, but its just a part of my effort to be widely informed and to believe, somehow, we can hold the various voices together in dialogue as we listen for truth.
I totally get the need to not do that sometimes, though. 🙂
