ThinkChristian…

May 9, 2006 by Chad Herring Leave a Comment

If you aren’t already reading Think Christian yet, you should be. They’re doing some good blogging these days. Just in the last 24 hours, two good posts have come on line.

First, Andy’s meditation on the “Insurmountable Evil in [the] Congo?” Much of what is happening there is akin to what is happening in nearby Darfur, Sudan. Warning: the link in that post describes the horrific suffering occuring there. What is it that we, practically, can do? What is it that we, as Christians, are called to do? I’m not sure I end up where Andy does, but its another strong voice for raising awareness of this travesty.

Second, Charlie’s post on “The Embarrassment of Riches” and global poverty.

Check them both out….

Kruse on a Mainline and Evangelical Emergent disconnect…

April 13, 2006 by Chad Herring Leave a Comment

I don’t have enough time this holy week to cogitate extensively on Michael Kruse’s good post, but I wanted to commend it to you for your meditation. Here is how his post starts:

Disconnect: Mainliners and Evangelicals in “Emergent” Conversation

I have been around the emergent conversation for about eight years now. My contact in the first few years was mostly isolated to an emergent group (Jacob’s Well) meeting in our church building. Over the last four years I have read more widely, attended an Emergent YM conference, hung out at Glorieta, NM, and involved myself in a variety of websites and blogs.

From the beginning, it has struck me that the emergent conversation was an evangelical and ex-evangelical phenomenon. Most of what I have experienced and read over the years confirms that perception, at least for the USA conversation. In more recent years, the conversation has
begun to spread beyond evangelical circles. Folks from mainline denominations have been entering the discussion. While attending the Emergent Convention in Nashville last year, I was in a group with about 300 randomly chosen people when we were asked how many of us were from
mainline denominations. Full two-thirds of the people raised their hands.

I hope to think about this when my head gets out of holy week…

…meanwhile, be sure to check out the discussion at emergesque about some other different ways people are approaching the emergent movement. Very interesting.
