talkin' about liturgy

Alan D. Creech — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 20:33:24 PDT

Finally, another podcast - don't I say this every time? So, here we go, Passion Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, and I had and made the time and expended the energy to put this thing together. I think, if I keep doing this regularly, I'd like to get a new microphone, a nice one, that's made for this kind of thing. Too much hissin' goin' on here.

So, the topic for this podcast is Liturgy - what it is, how it works, why it's important, etc.

Installment 2 from Henri Nouwen's In The Name of Jesus; Reflections on Christian Leadership. It took me a couple of weeks but I finally got around to it. This time reflections from highlights in the chapter entitled, The Discipline: Contemplative Prayer.

subjects: recording outside; conor's ballgame; relevance; christian mysticism; moralism vs. mysticism; union with God; holistic spirituality.

I thought it might be cool to do a series of short podcasts with commentary (plus rabbit trails) from the Henri Nouwen book I'm reading at the moment.

book: In The Name of Jesus; Reflections on Christian Leadership, by Henri J.M. Nouwen

subjects: weather, screen door, relevance in christian ministry, church, leadership, definitions, etc.

on being post protestant & spiritual disciplines > a discussion > part 3

Alan D. Creech — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 10:18:18 PST

Finally, here is part 3 of my discussion with Kyle about various, yet connected topics. This was, as I said before, long podcast so I chopped it up into 3 pieces. This is the final installment. I think it's a good one. This discussion includes the following:

Continued discussion of catholicity, why it is important to be a catholic Christian.
The concept of being post-protestant.
We love Benedict XVI.
Roman Catholic connections.
Spiritual disciplines, their importance, how they do and do not work.
On living to "please God."
General silliness.

catholicity & Catholic practice > a discussion > part 2

Alan D. Creech — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 13:31:06 PST

Part two of my conversation with Kyle Potter as he was staying with us - before he left for Oxford again. As I said, we had an hour or so conversation so it was broken up. This portion concerns mostly..

the concept of catholicity
what is called "Catholic practices" in a church

the family of God in community > a discussion > part 1

Alan D. Creech — Tue, 10 Jan 2006 15:37:57 PST

Well, as it says there, this is a discussion, interview, whatever you want to call it, between myself and Kyle Potter, who was at the time staying with us on his Christmas break from school. We wanted to talk about some things in a podcast - so we did. It was a longish conversation so I chopped it up into 3 parts.

This is part one which mainly concerns...

Kyle's thoughts on staying with us
our connected thoughts on the Body of Christ as family
being the church together in community

emerging church ramblings again

Alan D. Creech — Fri, 23 Dec 2005 21:04:07 PST

Let's try this again. I realize that when I posted this the first time back in October, the file it points to is the wrong one. Not sure what that's about, so I'm not sure anyone ever heard what I intended to podcast. Look to the show notes from last post.

emerging church ramblings

Alan D. Creech — Sat, 22 Oct 2005 22:14:51 PDT

Well, finally! It's been a long time, I realize that. I think I have no excuse, but here's some podcasterly rambling about the emerging church, what it is and is not, what it is or is not doing, etc. I mention a few people in the podcast in reference to these things, so I'll link to them here...

Alan Hartung - The emerging church series... Particularly the podcast entitled "The Emeriging Church Under The Radar"
Len Hjalmarson
Brother Maynard
Conversatio Fide - Professionalism in the Church podcast

now on itunes!

Alan D. Creech — Thu, 21 Jul 2005 06:39:23 PDT

Wow, my podcast is now in the iTunes Podcast Directory! Very cool. You can submit your podcast through the directory of podcasts in the iTunes Music Store, they review it and then put it up if it doesn't suck too much I guess. Anyway, I'm there. Now I guess I should do some podcasting. Soon, very soon.

feed fixed

Alan D. Creech — Tue, 12 Jul 2005 12:43:09 PDT

I had some trouble with my feed being read. I did some changes in Feedburner and it now works in iTunes and I'm sure any reader. So, if you were having trouble, retry. Peace.

i think i can

Alan D. Creech — Thu, 07 Jul 2005 22:25:43 PDT

I suppose these are "show notes" - funny, but here they are. I actually figured out how to capture a piece of music and add that into my mp3 by using Audio Hijack Pro and Apple's Garageband. I've borrowed a chunk of a Tears for Fears song, Shout. I thought that might be at least a little appropriate. Here's what's going on this time...

> Intro
> Visiting Mark Palmer
> Relationship connections
> Talking about giving up on deeply different forms of church
