Alerting "Church" Blog

I've had an article titled "Reforming Ecclesiology in Emerging Churches" accepted in the journal "Theology Today," which will appear in a few months.

I probably won't put the whole thing online, but I think it would be fun to share the general idea of the article and see where the conversation goes. 

So this is just an alert that next weekend (too much going on this week) I'll write up a post summarizing the main points and inviting comments.  It will be simultaneously posted on the Church and Postmodern Culture blog.

Just a teaser... the word "church" is not in scare quotes for nothing.  ;)

On other news, the book with my chapter "Nothing More Lovely" (edited by Craig Boyd) will be published this month by Ashgate.  Here is the announcement on Amazon.

Also, the Stead Center in Chicago has posted more details here about our conference on Christology and Ethics, which was held last spring.  Brent and I hope to finish up the final editing of the volume by November.

LeRon,

From now on when I see you lecture I expect to see you raise your arms and move your fingers every time you utter that ambiguous term "church." ;)

Peace.

LeRon,

The ecclesiology essay sounds interesting.

I'm just now putting together my syllabus for an 8-week online Masters course on missional theology. I want the two classes (I teach a double cohort) to look at ecclesiology the last week.

Do you think your ecclesiology essay might be appropriate for a course on missional theology?

And can I get a copy for my students to read?

Tom

PS> I found a nice little online article on missional theology and pedagogy by John Franke I plan to use in the classes.

Hi Kyle,

Watch for those finger movements at my next lecture! ;)

Hi Tom,

As you can see from the latest entry, I decided to go ahead and post the article online. So feel free to use it for your students. And I'd love to hear their (and your) feedback. ;)
