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…

Thanks to DJ Chuang for inviting me to 2nd Asian American Emergents Skypecast. As you can see my “link” to the conversation was due to the words “Asian” and “Emergent”. 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…

There goes Alwyn again … with a quick follow up post Orthodoxy in the Shadow of Theotokos. I’m still very much in a Sabbath posture right now – thus no intensive blogging. I’ll just repost Alwyn’s post for the benefit of those who come to this garden for refreshment 🙂 For graphics, italics, etc go…

Alwyn Lau is always the fastest and well-articulate participant and blogger of our conversations thus far. Here is his blog post A Post-Colonial Kind of Christian for yesterday (check out the comments too). “Well, that’s two firsts for me today at the Emergent Malaysia meeting in BLC. I’ve never met an Orthodox monk before, so…

I don’t have a fancy picture file for this round. But here’s the basic info. In short, we’re meeting tomorrow.
