I had the opportunity to ask him a host of questions about his to reading “new kind of christianity,” including his unconventional approach to reading the Bible, the future of the emergent movement, what mainliners and evangelicals can learn from each other, inter-religious friendship, his views on the church’s response to homosexuality, and the spiritual practices that keep him grounded.

Yes, PCOCS accepted new hymns and songs via an online submission process for several months. The submission deadline passed June 1, 2010. We received thousands of submissions, and additionally, we are reviewing scores of hymnals and song books printed after 1990. </p> <p>@Donald, there’s a FAQ section on the website that addresses why we are creating a new one.

But I still have no idea what they believe and what that “voice” is saying (besides “change”, that is). Perhaps less horn-tooting, and more posts about what you actually believe are now called for.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Chiapas Missionary Community by David Jessee</h1> <p>David Jessee — Tue, 18 May 2010 00:31:04 +0000</p> <p>Your description of your building a retreat center in Chiapas grabbed me.

And you think the Church should change to please them? Methinks you have forgotten the role of the Church– to be the standard for society, not the other way around. The fact that Presbyterians aren’t subject to “perceptual problems” with this bunch might actually be a cause for concern, and explain why your pews are empty. Presbyterians are the “cool mom and dad” who want to be “friends”, raising the next generation of dysfunctionals; while evangelicals are the parents who piss their kids off when they can’t have their way because they’re actually doing their job as parents.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Comment on Presbymergent CG now forming! by A Brief History of Presbymergent: Part 1 — Pomomusings</h1> <p>A Brief History of Presbymergent: Part 1 — Pomomusings — Thu, 13 May 2010 12:34:36 +0000</p> <p>[...] what Presbymergent was going to be.

Could you also, please specify which emergent churches are disintegrating? I haven’t seen Ranier’s book, but will look for it.</p> <p>From where I live and serve, I am seeing the emergent cultural shifts regarding authority, etc as described by Tickle, surfacing in lots of places, including rural, traditional churches (some of whom have had strong scriptural traditions). There are no emergent churches per se in this area (on maybe in the whole of Wisconsin), but the questions being asked and considered within the emergent conversation are resonating up here in the woods.</p> <p>Anybody know if it is still holding true that the single most determinant factor in where churches/denominations are growing is birthrate? Low birthrate accounts for 70% of membership decreases in the PCUSA according to research published in Presbyterians Today.</p> </article> </main></body></html>
