Chicago, it’s my kind of town!

\nI’d like to advertise two events where we (Kris and I) will be, one near Raleigh in Efland, North Carolina (Oct 11-13) with Zach Roberts and Tripp Fuller and the Southeast Emergent group<\/a>. This will be major conversation on atonement with two other theologians at Camp Chestnut Ridge.
\nThe second, Oct 19-20, is in Austin, TX<\/a>, and I will be the host of a public conversation about emerging theology with Doug Pagitt, Dan Kimball, Danielle Schroyer and John Burke.
\nIs there a third way<\/a>? I think so.
\nBest thing I read all week on the internet<\/a>. (HT: DR)
\nTwo excellent short reflections<\/a> on combative vs. joyful-generous orthodoxy by Dave Dunbar. (Read Vol. 1, nos. 6 and 7.)
\nThe Wikiklesia book, Voices of the Virtual World<\/a><\/em>, in which some of us participated is now available for download — written or audio.
\nEugene Cho<\/a> has good reflections on the situation of the Koreans in Afghanistan — sorry for this not to be in my top list but it got too long.
\nArt and the Evangelical<\/a>.
\nBarna, Individualism, and Self-Image<\/a> — which didn’t say much about individualism.
\n1. Pulled over<\/a> by the police?
\n2. Is this <\/a>you?
\n3. Do you have a “personal relationship with Jesus”? Trevin Wax<\/a> questions the language.
\n4. Starbs says it has to raise prices<\/a>.
\n5. Christ in Harry Potter? Bob Smietana<\/a> has a nicely-written piece.
\n6. Is the next buzz word “solitude”<\/a>? Are we fast approaching the day when this will be our biggest need? Has it already arrived?
\n7. Ave Maria University and City<\/a> — some early scuffles in an attempt to build Catholictown. Reminds me of Zion IL’s origins.
\n8. Jessica the Hippo<\/a>, adopted by a South African family, and now the darling of the family.
\n9. Alcoholism <\/a>… “That’s because researchers are learning that alcoholism, like addiction to narcotics, causes permanent changes to the brain that can at best be ameliorated but never permanently undone.”
\n10. I bet you can’t read this<\/a> without smiling.
\n11. Shopping for an ethical bra<\/a>.
\n12. Reason or faith<\/a>?
\nSports:
\nHow ’bout dem Cubs!
\nPiniella’s our fella.
\nI agree with Bob Costas<\/a> and admire his courage to speak up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
