In case you’re wondering, I don’t have any posts in the works about ecclesiology. It just doesn’t interest me the way it once did.
I’m still getting free emerging church books every few weeks, and in fact just got Phyllis Tickle’s new The Great Emergence, which Brian McLaren calls “the most important book of the year.”
I may or may not end up reading it; The Divine Conspiracy is our next book group book, so that’ll probably occupy my limited free time.
I’m not sure if this interest will return, but I wanted to explain the lack of posting on church-related matters. We’re happy at the Ohana Project, which is enough like the church we started that it’s comfortable and different enough to be challenging. And the people are great - I’m realizing relationships are far more important than church structure.



Let me know if you read The Great Emergence. I’m thinking of adding it to my reading queue.
Justin,
I’m glad that you’ve found a church community where you can find meaningful and challenging relationships. I’m looking forward to The Great Emergence from what I’ve seen/heard of it…Phyllis Tickle will be here in Austin tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to hearing her speak on it in person.
Since I just found your blog, I’m curious, what is your view on the emergent movement?
Hi Brandon,
I will refer you to the massive archives for that question.
The Great Emergence is a great book. I’ve been reading it for the past week, and for such a small tome, it’s very detailed. Phyllis Tickle is awesome.
