You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take…

My First Sand Castle!
I think before I land up doing some “random links” & “random thoughts” posts or more “serious” stuff :-). I’ll stick with some of the special moments we had during the recent holiday at Tioman Island.

More comments later … for now read for yourself and allow your own…
Responding to Public Criticism
“A number of people have asked if I plan to respond to some of the more public criticism of my and my friends’ work. Defending oneself is never very effective, it seems to me, although sometimes it must be done (I think of Paul in 2 Corinthians, for example). People who publicly disagree with your…
