I’d like to introduce you to John Crowder. I’m tempted to describe this guy as an “Emergent” pentecostal*, a “new charismatic,”** if you will. But to label John Crowder as “Emergent” would be to perpetuate a shallow stereotype of “Emergent” meaning a young-ish guy with a (ginormous) goatee who does ministry in jeans and an untucked shirt. …

Clinton Playing the Class Card
http://www.knightopia.com/journal/?p=899I don’t think there’s anything more disturbing than the way that Hillary Clinton played the race card earlier in this campaign. Specifically, the rift she tried to cause between Latinos and blacks and the intentional distortion of Obama’s face in a TV ad to make him look “more black” and thus more menacing (a la TIME’s infamous OJ Simpson cover). …

Hillary Was Here
http://www.knightopia.com/journal/?p=898Yes, I must acknowledge the fact that Hillary Clinton made a visit to my town on Saturday. (I missed Barack in Charlotte on Friday night because of Iron Man.) If I had gone to see Hillary (which I didn’t), I would’ve given this woman a high-five: And I would’ve given this guy (on the right, holding the Obama poster at the Hillary rally) a man-hug: BTW—Hillary’s “gas tax holiday”? …

There's a Post-Charismatic Movement?
http://www.emergentvillage.com/weblog/theres-a-post-charisma...I kicked off what has turned out to be an interesting (and informative, for non-charismatic folks like myself) conversation about the charismatic movement, the post-charismatic movement, and Emergent. See my somewhat tongue-in-cheek post on “The New Charismatics?”

Tall Skinny Kiwi
http://tallskinnykiwi.typepad.com"Many are Post-Charismatic. . . after 20 years, they would rather shoot themselves than sing another chorus." Stuart Murray-Williams talking with us in Paris, 2003. Just picking up on yesterday's post on The New Charismatics that Steve K started and trying to land it. If you watched the video on Steve's site, you know what i am talkin' bout.

A Life Profound
http://cynthiaclack.wordpress.comhave just written about it here, it has been sitting in my head for weeks. There’s more I’d rather be doing … like right now, a beautiful day is calling me to walk. Edited to add: Steve totally called me out!!! LOLOL!! Actually his post about The New Charismatics is referenced in Brother Maynard’s post I link to above. I read it and all I can it that what he brings attention to requires another whole level of reasoning! Steve makes a great point here: I guess what I’m really asking is: Does God really want

“Heavy, weighty, drunken glory… Oi yoi yoi yoi yoi…”
http://voiceofthelamb.org/luke/?p=231Steve Knight commented on it. Now I’m commenting on it. If you like what you see, check out more on John Crowder. If you don’t like what you see, uh, don’t check it out? No matter what… wow. That was hilarious.

Watch out Charismatics...
http://renman.typepad.com/ps/2008/05/watch-out-chari.htmlnow. Well, to be fair, it's Steve Knight, and he did not post this on Emergent Village, but he and other voices in the Emergent movement have posted and cross-posted this post on their personal blogs in the last few days. Have a read for yourself... Knight on Freak-a-costalism.. (my word, not his ;-) So, I know I have more Charismatic readers than Steve does, and I know that Steve reads this blog. How about it, Charismatics? You've been to these kinds of meetings. Don't deny it. I was there with some of you. Any comments for
