Voices of the Emergent Village Community
I posted a new blog entry on the Doug Pagitt Radio Web site today about the effects of collective goodness. You may either click the link or read a copy pasted below. http://dougpagittradio.com/toothpick-kingdom For much of my life I have been a bit like a high-functioning Piglet. You are probably aware of the small, fearful friend [...]
I love the Bible. For some of you reading this that might seem strange; for others, you might know what I mean. But I do want to clarify. I love the Bible today for different reasons than I did even 10 years ago. Back then, I would have said I love the Bible because it [...]
Victoria and I talked with Pete Rollins about his book The Idolatry of God on Doug Pagitt Radio this morning. You can watch the video, listen to audio or subscribe to the show. Video here. Audio here Subscribe to the show here.
With Jay’s new book coming out tomorrow, I thought I would repost my review here… When I was a “leader” in the church, I always assumed it was supposed to be about people. I thought crazy things like: a pastor (shepherd) was supposed to actually know the sheep. And, that the shepherd was primarily a [...]
I have heard it said that all prayer is heresy, but God in His infinite love magnetically draws our badly misdirected arrows directly to his heart. Having always considered myself to be a faithful follower of the way of Christ, I have called myself “Christian,” I have called myself “evangelical”. I have considered myself orthodox. [...]
In AA’s big book on page 61, a question is asked, “What is his basic trouble? Is he not really a self-seeker even when trying to be kind? Is he not a victim of the delusion that he can wrest satisfaction and happiness out of this world if he only manages well? Is it not [...]
I come from a Christian culture that defined “holiness” (being like God) as the ability to follow imperatives or rules. These were affirmed by the Christian story I was formed in, which of course was said to be BIBLICAL. I think the church is badly in need of (or perhaps it’s the church experience I [...]
I have been struggling with classic depictions of God for the past several months. But I found great comfort in Tony Jones’s recent admission in regards to agnosticism or igtheism. I’d be keen to hear what some of you agnostic and atheistic readers think of his essay. (For the record, I’m currently somewhere on the Christian [...]
This blog is an experiment. We are seeking to include as many voices as are willing to join together and tell stories, create ideas, and generate friendships that will compel us to the future. There are more than 50 people who will be adding their voices to this conversation. Some will write, some will post audio, some will post video.
You will hear from Christians and Jews; denominationalists and free-range spiritualists; conservatives and liberals; the faith-filled and the faith-hesitant.
We are a collective of people who are not only concerned about the “right and left” but now and the future. Emergent Village is a community that wants to make something together.
We invite you to join us.
Read, comment, spread the word and consider adding your voice. If you would like to be one the bloggers contact Doug Pagitt at doug@dougpagitt.com.
