This following statement caught my attention, "He is a Pentecostal among evangelicals, a mainline Christian among evangelicals, and an evangelical in the mainline. Growing up, he was a Christian among communists."

thanks for the links. of particular interest was the ecumenical comparison/exchange between catholics and pentecostals. i'm part of a national initiative funded by the pew charitable trust that has brought together 6 catholic organizations and 6 protestant organizations to discuss organizational development, and a limited amount of theology (as it relates to community service).

Your quote "As a translation movement Christianity is a religion made to travel," reminded me of another favorite quote that speaks to the emerging Church.

"The art of travel is not in seeing new places; but in seeing old places with new eyes."
