Month: March 2007

I almost ended my series of reposting other people’s posts 🙂 but then I couldn’t resist this excellent piece Friends in Conversation – A Quiet Revolution of Hope from Kevin (who’s progressing to a Brian McLaren hairstyle *smile*). I added some flavour by throwing in some pictures of a segment he alluded to. _______________________________________ “Brian…

I’ll need to warm up after being absent from blogging couple of days due to some days off at Kuantan. I think walking on the beach did me some good. And I managed to do some substantial theological reading while watching TV and sleeping (all not at the same time *smile*). Had lots of good…

Here are some quotes from blogs where I think what they say represents what I feel are adventures in getting the point from the Friends 2007 event. There are times where we will miss the point or need time to process … but these gems are pretty good. __________________________________ “… the Friends in Conversation event,…

I think the time Brian had at the seminary was a very fruitful one in the classroom and outside the classroom. The topic was ‘The Church Emerging In The Post-al Age’. My young friend Ben Ong has some wonderful gems worth sharing below from his post Gems from an encounter with Brian McLaren. It made…

Here’s another gem in our national language Bahasa Malaysia 🙂 Adakah saya untuk diri saya? I’m motivated to improve on my grasp of this beautiful language. Saya bersetuju dengan artikel yang ditulis dalam blog Warkah Pascamoden. Anda boleh melihat artikelnya di bawah. Brian McLaren juga mengingatkan saya dalam sesi perbincangan bahawa kita dicipta dan ditebus…

[David BC Tan & Alwyn Lau in conversation!] My friend David BC Tan nudges “Further along the conversation…” while I left a comment at the end 🙂 The recently concluded QROH seminar with Brian McLaren made me look back through my own archive of writings on emergence. A post dated 29 Oct 04 had this…

Everyday, I’m reading more feedback and responses to Brian’s visit last week. Here’s one from my new friend (who’s much more experienced and wiser than I am) Todd Nelson in a nice little post McLaren in Malaysia. I recall listening to Todd talk about his experiences in the USA and light bulbs were popping in…

I think it’s easy to just be engaged on more conceptual conversations which a number of the previous posts I’ve pointed to tend towards. So when i read Janelle’s my tint of hope I thought it was refreshing. Read on … “How would you consider something to be good or bad? Why would two person…

I’m still trying to catch up with the after event conversations … here’s one by Egalitaria worth some time – Conversations: A Revolution of Hope “Thoughts have been clamouring to get out. Having been involved with the recent weekend event, and meeting Brian McLaren face to face with the privilege of personal interviews (not interrogation!),…

Looks like the conversations over at Dr. Alex Tang’s blog post A Quiet Reflection on QROH continues with much life and vigor 🙂 It will be interesting if Jason Clark joins us. For now, eavesdrop and enjoy … Please remember to read the original post for context.
