Thanks to Maggi Dawn for the following from the Fresh Expressions post… __________________________________________________________________ I always encourage people to buy in thoroughly to whatever they are in to. It shows a serious lack of character, I think, to hover on the edge of something being cool and cynical and never getting your hands dirty – kind…

The Lost Pomo debate
Thanks to
Emergent Cohort CJ “sample” meeting
Thanks to Tony Jones for the link and Adam Cleave a chance to peek into and eavesdrop what’s happening on the other side of the ocean at Central Jersey, here
Community Revisited
I recall reading these insights before somewhere … Thanks to Fred Peatross for highlighting them again below (for more checkout What is community building? and the downloads). _________________________________________________ Faith communities talk about community as if all are in community but there is some hard-work ahead for those who want to live in genuine community.

Even thoughts from some one who missed the meeting like My Tightrope had some worthwhile questions feeding our future conversations here Emergent Rising and Knees Knocking…, and I thought I was going to have a day of rest today,…
