Lead pastor at Willow Creek, Gene Appel, mentioned this blog in his talk this weekend so I want to welcome Willow Creekers to the conversations <\/a>that occur on this blog. A brief introduction to Jesus Creed: we talk about Jesus, about Christian theology, about books we are reading, and about issues — some of them controversial. We pride ourselves on this blog for creating a safe place for conversation. We often disagree; we often state our views sharply; but we don’t insult one another. We are now doing a few series: on a “missional <\/a>church life,” letters <\/a>to emerging Christians, and whether catastrophes are God’s judgment<\/a> or not, and on spiritual disciplines<\/a> as community (not just individual, personal) endeavors … and so many other things come. Join us. (If some terms get a little stuffy, check out our Bloglossary <\/a>in the Sidebar to your right.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
