OK - I'm giving up on feeling guilty about not keeping you up to date on what's going on at emergent! I can't do it. Besides, there are others doing a better job... Bob Carlton is here, Anna Aven is here (even thought I haven't seen either yet).
Apparently Jen Lemen and Christy Lambertson are here too. I hope to finally catch up with some of these folks tomorrow morning at the Emerging Women's Leadership Initiative breakfast. Yes, you heard right. Actually, when I asked for the ticket I got laughed at by both the male and the female behind the counter. How's that for equal opportunity ridicule?!
Thoughts:
+ I want to be part of a community of missional theologians. (Dan Kimball)
+ Bob Webber is sick of "innovation" in the evangelical church.
+ Phyllis Tickle tells us it's time to think in terms of "cultural Christians" and practicing Christians, much like the Jewish tradition has done for years. (That fits in with the whole Christian/Disciple argument from Dallas Willard yesterday.
+ Putting our physical bodies into "postures of prayer" is a very powerful exercise.
+ Kathleen Norris reminded us that you have to be silent to hear. (Note to self: read some of her stuff.)
Good night.

Posted by: Mike on March 12, 2004 09:26 PMMike, I really like the way you've pulled key thoughts from different sessions and experiences and given us a glimpse of how they start to fit together. Very nice!
