Chicago, it\u2019s my kind of town!
\n $\"c3a2448c80a506f01374fff3af8376e3.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nI\u2019d like to advertise two events where we (Kris and I) will be, one near Raleigh in Efland, North Carolina (Oct 11-13) with Zach Roberts and Tripp Fuller and the Southeast Emergent group<\/a>. This will be major conversation on atonement with two other theologians at Camp Chestnut Ridge.
\nThe second, Oct 19-20, is in Austin, TX<\/a>, and I will be the host of a public conversation about emerging theology with Doug Pagitt, Dan Kimball, Danielle Schroyer and John Burke.
\nIs there a third way<\/a>? I think so.
\n Best thing I read all week on the internet<\/a>. (HT: DR)
\n Two excellent short reflections<\/a> on combative vs. joyful-generous orthodoxy by Dave Dunbar. (Read Vol. 1, nos. 6 and 7.)
\nThe Wikiklesia book, Voices of the Virtual World<\/a><\/em>, in which some of us participated is now available for download \u2014 written or audio.
\n Eugene Cho<\/a> has good reflections on the situation of the Koreans in Afghanistan \u2014 sorry for this not to be in my top list but it got too long.
\n Art and the Evangelical<\/a>.
\n Barna, Individualism, and Self-Image<\/a> \u2014 which didn\u2019t say much about individualism.
\n1. Pulled over<\/a> by the police?
\n2. Is this <\/a>you?
\n3. Do you have a \u201cpersonal relationship with Jesus\u201d? Trevin Wax<\/a> questions the language.
\n4. Starbs says it has to raise prices<\/a>.
\n5. Christ in Harry Potter? Bob Smietana<\/a> has a nicely-written piece.
\n6. Is the next buzz word \u201csolitude\u201d<\/a>? Are we fast approaching the day when this will be our biggest need? Has it already arrived?
\n7. Ave Maria University and City<\/a> \u2014 some early scuffles in an attempt to build Catholictown. Reminds me of Zion IL\u2019s origins.
\n8. Jessica the Hippo<\/a>, adopted by a South African family, and now the darling of the family.
\n9. Alcoholism <\/a>\u2026 \u201cThat\u2019s because researchers are learning that alcoholism, like addiction to narcotics, causes permanent changes to the brain that can at best be ameliorated but never permanently undone.\u201d
\n10. I bet you can\u2019t read this<\/a> without smiling.
\n11. Shopping for an ethical bra<\/a>.
\n12. Reason or faith<\/a>?
\nSports:
\nHow \u2019bout dem Cubs!
\nPiniella\u2019s our fella.
\nI agree with Bob Costas<\/a> and admire his courage to speak up.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
