I\u2019ll be up in Minneapolis today in a conversation with some Covenant pastors about reading the Bible in a postmodern age.
\n Good story<\/a> of the week (HT: MarkO).
\nAsk Don why he pastors and you\u2019ll get this<\/a> answer.
\nAsk Pete why he studies and you\u2019ll get this<\/a>.

\nHere is a good public conversation<\/a> by my colleague on whether or not the Orthodox Church has a revolving door.
\nThe ecclesiology of the emerging movement is becoming fashionable to study and here<\/a> is a nice little taxonomy on a blog. We could all quibble with something here and there, but it\u2019s a nice place to start.
\nI like TSK\u2019s blog and this kind of report<\/a>, which he often features, is why. He reports about what is going on.
\nHere is an interview<\/a> I did with Kelly Dolan for Willow\u2019s Shift conference<\/a>.
\nSpeaking of youth \u2026 are today\u2019s youth narcissistic<\/a>?
\n Lincoln <\/a>photos discovered.
\n1. Good reminder from Art Boulet<\/a>.
\n2. Cold advice<\/a>.
\n3. The NYTimes<\/em> did this just for Michael Kruse<\/a> \u2014 so he could tell the blog world what it means!
\n4. I\u2019m thinking about what I\u2019d like to see Steve Jobs announce this year<\/a> \u2026 any suggestions?
\n5. Two of my friends, one a priest and the other a professor, have officially entered the world of wisdom: Rob Merola<\/a> and Dan de Roulet<\/a>. Read and ponder.
\n6. Farewell Antonio<\/a>! One of our favorite news reporters in Chicago, Antonio Moira, is leaving Chicago for Miami.
\n $\"antonio.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\n7. When Doug Pagitt was a youth pastor he was the lead singer in a band. A recently recovered video of Doug singing<\/a>.
\n8. Michael Kruse reviews<\/a> Pagan Christianity<\/em>.
\n9. Zach Roberts on emergent and the Reformation<\/a>. Common themes?
\n10. Jim Martin\u2019s fine post on vocation<\/a>. Please weigh in at his blog.
\n11. Bob\u2019s blogging up a storm<\/a> and now he\u2019s taking on Rick Warren.
\n12. Protesting the Pope at La Sapienza<\/a>.
\nSports:
\nQuote of the week: From Rick Majerus<\/a>: \u201cThen the new coach [Majerus], a product of a Jesuit education himself, broke up the room by musing that \u201cthe greatest mystery of faith to me is not the resurrection or the virgin birth. I want to know if the Corinthians ever wrote back.\u201d
\nTwo fun upsets last weekend in the NFL playoffs and a wondrous game up in Green Bay, leaving a legendary coaching pondering about \u2026
\n $\"snow.jpg\"$ <\/a> $\"holmgren.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nThis guy can play the game:
\n $\"kj-choi.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\n Say it ain\u2019t so<\/a>.
\nMore in the NCAA infraction committee need to visit with Johnny Wooden<\/a> and I hope they can sit down and listen to this aged, wise man talk about what sports are all about.
