The Future of Christianity and The Church – Ecumenism
Posted on October 27, 2010 by Robb
A fascinating discussion between an ecumenical group comprising N.T. Wright, Father Richard Rohr and Brennan Manning. Is this what we mean by the emerging church? Something that is grounded in tradition and a lineage… and yet still operates around that… what Brian McLaren calls a ‘generous orthodoxy’. I certainly think that’s the future. What amazing words from Fr [...]

Pimp My Church
Posted on October 26, 2010 by Robb
David Male has put an interesting overview of his book Church Unplugged on Share. He makes an interesting contrast between Fresh Expressions of church and Pimp My Ride from MTV. Please have a read of the article. My worry sometimes with all that is happening under the banner of fresh expressions of church/church planting is [...]

Changing Education Paradigms and The Church
Posted on October 25, 2010 by Robb
The little teacher inside my head started to nod and hasn’t stopped. So how does this apply to or affect the church? What can we learn from this? What do we do as a church when it comes to facilitating collaboration? Using the metaphorical people churning production line from this animation, what “product” do we churn [...]

What is a fresh Expression of Church?
Posted on October 24, 2010 by Robb
The Fresh Expressions email sent a link to this video. The issue it highlights was the focus of the keynote address by Graham Cray at Sheffield Diocese day of workshops looking at Fresh Expressions. His most poignant remark was along these lines (I type from memory): My advice for people who want to set up a fresh expression is ‘don’t’. Spend [...]

Alternative Hymnal – “Every Day” Ten Second Epic
Posted on October 20, 2010 by Robb
You said, there’s no way the days should feel this short, As soon as one ends, the other starts. You said, all day I feel you playing a part, When all you ever want to do was leave a mark. Every day, Another one wasted. Every day, You get up and face it. Every day, [...]

Worship Idea – The Prodigal Son
Posted on October 19, 2010 by Robb
The good news is that I have nearly cleared my email inbox. The bad news is that I made a note of this video resource when I stumbled upon it on the 9th of July and have only just got around to posting it. Sorry.

The Manga Jesus
Posted on October 19, 2010 by Robb
I did a quick search and it would seem that I have been a little remise. A minister and a comic book nerd and I haven’t ever blogged about the Manga Bible. Of all the different reinterpretations that I have mentioned before you would have thought I would have mentioned this sooner! There are all [...]
