I came across a little exchange which is a wonderful model of true conversation and graciousness (amongst Christians in our country). With their permission and in the words of the one who replied in another email to me, “Use for the furtherance of God’s people and the building up of his people to be salt…

Asian American Emergents skypecast this Sunday For me it was monday morning and I REALLY enjoyed this chat. Glad there are 25minutes of Mp3 for others to eavesdrop in. Reformation 1: Scot McKnight at Westminster (updated) I like the picture used with the words “The Reformation will be blogged.” The 5 Books on Emerging Church…

NCC Interesting to see the guys from Emergent Village enter the learning curve of engaging a wider theological conversation. I appreciated this comment: “In some respects, we Emergent Village guys, questioned our involvement in such a endeavor, since we are neither a church or a denomination, nor do we have an established theology, when most…

* 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.
