here’s from the point of a first time new comer to our conversation last Saturday, “an introduction to emergent”, I manage to put in some comments to encourage further conversation. Ah .. that word again, I was reminded by what Brian McLaren said some time ago .. and I agree with him especially in our…

Emergent – Lutherans?
Emerging Leaders Network so this is what fellow Lutheran Karen Ward is up to with her friends! We’re pretty aware of the spirit of Luther, “here we stand!” then “Now it’s time to walk ahead together” Here’s what they are up to: “ELN seeks to be a community of friendship, discernment and theological conversation among…
The Radical Evangelical
Long before reading Brian McLaren’s A Generous OrthodoxyI found this little book at the STM library in Seremban (SPCK books are hard to find here) and Dr. Nigel G. Wright rocked me pretty hard (for which I’m grateful). I thought of borrowing the book again to see how I’d react to it now after 4…
Learning in Story
My friend AL has a way with words(and we always have fun how we use terms and phrases) and I appreciate how he captures our Emergent Malaysia gathering last Saturday in his own words. I fully agree with him that “Christianity is not just good for dying” … it’s good for living! Timely during this…

Twist of Faith: Emergent churches…
Resurrection

I’m often surprised by the creativity that comes with this “open space” we created. 🙂 Here’s two quotes from two of my favorite authors (via CT reflections) “DEATH is the ultimate weapon of the tyrant; resurrection does not…
Emergent Malaysia conversations on Holy Saturday
“Emergent is a growing generative friendship among missional Christian leaders seeking to love our world in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Our dream is to join in the activity of God in the world wherever we are able, so that God’s dreams for our world come true. In the process, the world can be healed…
Crucifixion
These are some reflections I chose From Christianity Today to put in the booklet we used for the Stations of the Cross on Monday-Wednesay and tonight. We have become insensitive to the infinite tension which is implied in the words of the Apostles’ Creed: “suffered … was crucified, dead, and buried … rose again from…
