Missional Meanderings

June 13, 2007 | Filed Under meanderings, missional |

meanderings.jpgAs our network groups have been reading through Hirsch’s “The Forgotten Ways” we have had several conversations about the pressure to conform to the consumerist model of the American church. Here is a brief discussion with Dan Kimball about the pressures at Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz. (HT: Rick Meigs)

At the prompting of a friend I have started praying during fixed hours of the day with the help of a free online version of ”The Divine Hours” by Phyllis Tickle. She writes: “Praying the hours enjoins us to stop, let go of all that occupies us, and focus on the sacred at regular intervals throughout the day. Suddenly, every day becomes holy, for every day is laced together by our appointments with God.”

Over at The Freeway there is a brief but helpful piece on Third Places. (HT: Len Hjalmarson)

Here is an excellent resource of podcasts from The Kindlings, including interviews with Stan Grenz, N.T. tongue.jpgWright, Brennan Manning, Dallas Willard, Donald Miller and the like.

    Very Good stuff Brad.

    I especially like the podcast resource.

    So what do you call Baptists who use glossolalia for private prayer? Glossobaptists. Charismatic Baptists!

    I did not know that the Stone’s “glossalized”.

    Paul, you must not have heard Keith Richards speak lately.

    Good point… I think I am glad he is speaking in tongues and I prefer no interpretation.
