\nThis my occasional reminder: If you have written a good post for which you’d like to have a little more traffic, contact me, I’ll check it out and include it here if I can. I’ll be up in Minneapolis today in a conversation with some Covenant pastors about reading the Bible in a postmodern age.
\nGood story<\/a> of the week (HT: MarkO).

\nHere is a good public conversation<\/a> by my colleague on whether or not the Orthodox Church has a revolving door.
\nThe ecclesiology of the emerging movement is becoming fashionable to study and here<\/a> is a nice little taxonomy on a blog. We could all quibble with something here and there, but it’s a nice place to start.
\nI like TSK’s blog and this kind of report<\/a>, which he often features, is why. He reports about what is going on.
\nHere is an interview<\/a> I did with Kelly Dolan for Willow’s Shift conference<\/a>.
\nSpeaking of youth … are today’s youth narcissistic<\/a>?
\nLincoln <\/a>photos discovered.

\n2. Cold advice<\/a>.
\n3. The NYTimes<\/em> did this just for Michael Kruse<\/a> — so he could tell the blog world what it means!
\n4. I’m thinking about what I’d like to see Steve Jobs announce this year<\/a> … any suggestions?
\n5. Two of my friends, one a priest and the other a professor, have officially entered the world of wisdom: Rob Merola<\/a> and Dan de Roulet<\/a>. Read and ponder.
\n6. Farewell Antonio<\/a>! One of our favorite news reporters in Chicago, Antonio Moira, is leaving Chicago for Miami.

\n7. When Doug Pagitt was a youth pastor he was the lead singer in a band. A recently recovered video of Doug singing<\/a>.
\n8. Michael Kruse reviews<\/a> Pagan Christianity<\/em>.
\n9. Zach Roberts on emergent and the Reformation<\/a>. Common themes?
\n10. Jim Martin’s fine post on vocation<\/a>. Please weigh in at his blog.
\n11. Bob’s blogging up a storm<\/a> and now he’s taking on Rick Warren.
\n12. Protesting the Pope at La Sapienza<\/a>.
\nSports:
\nQuote of the week: From Rick Majerus<\/a>: “Then the new coach [Majerus], a product of a Jesuit education himself, broke up the room by musing that “the greatest mystery of faith to me is not the resurrection or the virgin birth. I want to know if the Corinthians ever wrote back.”
\nTwo fun upsets last weekend in the NFL playoffs and a wondrous game up in Green Bay, leaving a legendary coaching pondering about …
\n\"snow.jpg\"<\/a>\"holmgren.jpg\"<\/a>
\nThis guy can play the game:
\n\"kj-choi.jpg\"<\/a>
\nSay it ain’t so<\/a>.
\nMore in the NCAA infraction committee need to visit with Johnny Wooden<\/a> and I hope they can sit down and listen to this aged, wise man talk about what sports are all about.
