Emerging Women

I found a great post with a list if women writers we all need to be reading. Two of my favorites are on it, Phyliss Tickle and Diana Butler Bass. I will have to check out the others. Brian McLaren wrote the post.

The other day I found Phyliss Tickel on Facebook. On a whim I asked her to add me as one of her friends. She did! What a world we live in.

2010 Emergent Village Theological Conversation

Hey gang,

Susanne and I just actually registered for the 2010 Emergent Village Theological Conversation in Atlanta November 1-3!

I'll be happy to bring back whatever insights/resources there are which might look promising. At the very least maybe we can have some dialogue about the topics here on our blog.

Even better, why don't some of you consider signing up as well. Check it out at the Emergent Village web site above.

Doug Pagitt's new Book; What do you think of his Quadrants?

What door did you enter by?

At our little meet-up a couple of weeks ago, one of the interesting things we talked about was how we got involved in the emergent conversation. 

What was your entry point?  emergent worship?   theological conversations?  secular postmodernism?  books by Brian McClaren? 

Resources for Continuing the Conversation

Colleagues:

It's great that Emergent Village is resuming the podcast, especially with the Moltmann conversation. See www.emergentvillage.com/podcast. Maybe we can use this to fuel our own Eastern Iowa conversation.

I also just re-read "The Emergent Manifesto" of Hope edited by Tony Jones and Doug Pagitt. Fascinating collection of essays from "emergent thinkers and practitioners" from around the country. It's probably available on Amazon, and well worth the read!

Have a great summer, everybody!
