• The Church as the Liberated Zone

  
  Khanya — Authority: 459

• The Episcopal Church Welcomes You

  
  Confessions of a Carioca — Authority: 406
  The shield is cockeyed, which is a relatively recent development, but otherwise it hasn’t changed in decades. I was familiar with it long before I ever imagined I would end up an Episcopalian. It can be found on street corners in thousands of communities across the country (and sometimes it is obvious that they have ...

• Whats at Stake in Anglican and Roman Catholic Unity Discussions

  
  Pure Church — Authority: 521

• Robert Munday—Healing the Fault Lines in Christianity

  
  TitusOneNine — Authority: 547
  The third reason I believe that orthodox Anglicans must take the lead in overcoming our divisions and manifesting the unity of the Church is that our disunity impairs our witness. It is only a united witness to the truth of the Gospel that can reach a world that is slipping into post-Christianity precisely through the ...

• Dr Williams’ address to the Willebrands Symposium

  
  onetimothyfour — Authority: 421
  It seems that Dr Williams must be a Telegraph reader, and took seriously George Pitcher’s vituperative piece a few days back ‘Its time for Dr Rowan Williams to square up to a rampant Rome’. His address to the Willebrands Symposium would certainly seem to be an attempt to put in their place anyone (such as Pope ...

  Disruptive Grace — Authority: 108
  A Biblical Rationale for CD III/4, 488-9 At the end of this section, Barth helpfully summarizes all four of his ecclesial assumptions through his citation of I Peter 2:9-10: But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who ...

• The Collateral Damage of Video-Venues: A Challenge To All Video Venue Multi-Site Church Leaders – DO A SURVEY!

  
  Reclaiming the Mission — Authority: 510
  This is an add-on to my previous post on Video venue church. Here I want to suggest strongly that video-venue mega-church-developers examine how their plans might impact the surrounding church community. In other words, do a survey! In the past I have said that churches should abandon “marketing type” surveys. ...

  The Edge of the Inside — Authority: 125
  Recently I ventured to the great northwest part of our state to participate in a one day conference.

• A Non-Institutional, Unorganized Church?

  
  The Reformed Reader — Authority: 420
  I just finished reading a book that utilizes a “trendy” font, talks about Jesus, kingdom, The Shack, missions, Starbucks, and even Lunesta.  The authors are younger guys with goatees.  It is true, these guys should be Emergent, but they are not .  Instead, they got together to write a book telling why and ...

  Peter J. Leithart — Authority: 565
  Discussing Barth’s distinction of the “church of Esau” and the “church of Jacob” in the Romerbrief , Michael Horton ( People and Place: A Covenant Ecclesiology ) gets Barth’s weaknesses exactly right.  First, “Barth seems to assume that ’secularity’ is neutral, objective, descriptive science” ...

• The Church’s Unrest

  
  Inhabitatio Dei — Authority: 559
  Jürgen Moltmann’s The Church in the Power of the Spirit continues to be one of the most impressive books I’ve yet encountered from him. In fact, I’ve found Moltmann’s work here quite helpful in light of the recent discussions about the viability of Hauerwas’s ecclesiology that have emerged from Nate ...

  This week Asbury Seminary Orlando celebrated the inauguration of its 8th President , Dr. Timothy C. Tennent . Dr. Tennent is an expert on global Christianity and the mission of God.

• Does Mission Make the Church?

  
  Inhabitatio Dei — Authority: 559
  According to the early church’s own self-narration in the book of Acts it would seem so. In Acts 2 clearly it is the pentecostal coming of the Holy Spirit which initiates the new messianic reality through the apostles. But, the logic of the Spirit’s movement is not Pentecost-Church-Mission, but ...

• Tradition and Messianic Liberation

  
  Inhabitatio Dei — Authority: 559
  Jürgen Moltmann, in The Church in the Power of the Spirit argues that appeals to the church’s tradition as a source of stable, timeless permanence are misguided on the basis of the very nature of tradition itself: The tradition to which the church appeals, and which it proclaims whenever it calls itself ...

  everyday theology — Authority: 465
  Visiting with a young man the other day, I heard a brief statement that pinpointed a terrible problem faced by much of American Christianity.“Jesus was born on the cross for our sins,” he told me.Well, not exactly.  Jesus was born.  Jesus did die on a cross.  Both these events took place as part of God’s [...]
