Sherman has been offering some dishes for us to taste and see whether it’s good for all – especially those of us in Asia. I’ll pick out some samples (in bold) and throw in a few comments. Voice of Asia (Prologue) “A friend of mine – a journalist by training, presently working as a writer…

* Andrew Hamilton (Hamo) did us a great service by posting up his recent conversations with D.A. Carson – and confirms to me the need to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slower to publish. That is partly why people like me in Asia have been pretty silent and cautious on matters regarding…

Funny thing is this was the first time we’ve met at a Starbucks for an emergent Malaysia open meeting (eMo for short) . I think it’s also a first for using Sunday as well. It was a small group of 9 of us this round (would have been 10 if I didn’t miss seeing an…

Here’s the invitation I sent our via our yahoorgroup. ___________________________________________________________________ … we also don’t have any “big” thing or agenda for this round. The fact is some of us miss each other, or have new friends to introduce to one another, or are trying to keep up with our reading, etc. So, probably the main…

Thanks DJ for offering us his recorded conversations. I think this is a good example of what the emergent conversation is about from our “limited points of view”. Here’s the downloads for part 1 (mp3) & part 2 (mp3). There were some “robotic sounding” moments perhaps because of the internet connection (mostly when I was…

But more importantly, because DJ Chuang and I have been in touch with each other for some time. So, at heart it’s this friendship that…

*Updated from previous post: read further down below* Thanks Al again for being the fastest writer and blogger to post the “raw” stuff of our conversation thus far. I think the impression one will get as I am is that the issues are complicated and one needs to perhaps “slow down” and chew on the…

Sorry for such a delayed announcement … many are away this Saturday but the coordinating group still felt it was good to “not give up meeting together” (we’ve fixed it pretty much on the first Saturday of the month). It’s a free flow kind of meeting where we are mainly sharing current concerns, where we…

the website re-emerges … excellent work done on it!! Looks like the website itself has been in growing and generative mode. 🙂 very much like those who have been involved in the conversation thus far.

What (again) is an emerging theology? “The whole idea of an ’emerging theology’ is nebulous, which is probably unavoidable and probably a good thing. But every now and again I feel the need to sketch some boundaries, contours, intentions, commitments … “ Like it or not, sketches like this is inevitable. Hmm … The metaphor…
