I came accross this link from emerging blurb that is an article talking about the Seventh Day Adventist Church. It seems that the emerging church movement is moving further ashore.
“We have come together to listen to each other, to interact with each other and be open to learn more effective ways of doing and being […]

Some of the websites were overloaded when I tried earlier today and there was a fairly long wait on the phones. […]

There has been much discussion about the famed Victoria’s Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001. The recent decision against Catch the Fire Ministries has brought out all sorts of “thin edge of the wedge arguements” - as this article suggests you only have to read some Australian daily newspapers to think the end of

The gospel is subversive. Time and time we hear Jesus tell us how the kingdom of God is like:
A mustard seed - the smallest of all seeds.

It kinda represents Church consumerism gone a bit mad I […]

I have found a couple of recent posts on A Dervish’s Du`a’ really interesting, about the tradition in Islam of Jesus as a Prophet. Have a look here and here:
To this end, given it’s the Christmas season, I thought I might post some snippets about Jesus as a Muslim figure. There is a whole […]
