Jim Wallis of Sojourners hits it on the head:
Pat Robertson is an embarrassment to the church and a danger to American politics.
Robertson is known for his completely irresponsible statements - that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were due to American feminists and liberals, that true Christians could vote only for George W. Bush, that the […]

We are just playing around with the template of the signposts at the moment. Forgive us if some links don’t work or the display is a bit funny. We should have it all worked out in a couple of days.
Many thanks to Justin Baeder of Radical Congreguency for the template we are working from.

I have just been interviewed by Leighton Tebay for the Canadian Resonate journal. The conversation recorded over skype centered largely on the multi-congregational approach of Northern Community. We also talked a little about the differences between the emerging church scene in Australia, US, UK, NZ and Canada.
It will be released as a podcast when the […]

In a recent thread on Hillsongs, Geoff Bullock has been commenting. Geoff is the author of many of the early Hillsongs worship songs - and perhaps some of the more well known one from the early days.
Nigel mentioned that he went to a Geoff Bullock concert/singalong at the Crossway Baptist many years ago […]

A quote from Stephanie of Just Etchings:

Grace and legalism cannot exist together. Legalism will squeeze grace out, but grace will invite legalism to shed it’s coat and begin to find true life.
Shame and dignity cannot exist together in our story. Shame holds us in bondage. Dignity gives shame a kick in the butt and invites […]

Okay, so we are just about to get all maternal and stuff and buy a new puppy dog. I am trusted to go all by myself tonight and see if I can pick one out from the couple we have been alerted to. Watching my various friends and family be pregnant with human […]

On one of our older threads discussing the Hillsong question, there was a comment last night from Geoff Bullock which I thought was worth its own space:
Yes, it’s the “real Geoff Bullock” whatever that means. After all, the real me has nothing to do with Hillsongs, Houston or the things I have written, composed or […]

Footballer Fraser Gehrig is under investigation by the AFL for religious vilification when he allegedly called (Christian) Fremantle defender Shane Parker a “bible-bashing ****”. I am not being prudish - I have not seen a report which actually quotes his alleged statement exactly.
Listening to the talk back on sports radio tonight, commentators were questioning […]
