Church of the Apostles in Seattle held an emerging church learning party This past Saturday at their meeting space (abbey). I want to play and learn like that too. I’ve been trying to see if some other emerging church folks in W. Michigan would be interested in doing something like this. Maybe I’ll explore this with the EWM cohort.

I am a big fan of the material put out by the altworship folks in the UK. I think they have a really great way of taking the historical rituals patterns and breathing new life into them.
Her are some other alt worship links I’ve come across recently

What if faith is like jazz? After a reading Blue Like Jazz, having a EWM conversation with Steve Argue where he suggested we think of doctrine as being like a song and Anthony Smith sharing a quote from Rodney Clapp
" jazz can correct what James Cone, I am afraid with all too much justification, has called the "the heresy of white Christianity." I think faith is like jazz.
I am more and more convinced that jazz the all American musical form birth from the womb of New Orleans is the way to salvage the theological conversation going on in emergent and modern circles. The tension is between those who say you must belief something absolute, be able to express those beliefs and stand on them to really be called a Christian and those who are hesitant to express the faith in terms of absolutes and certainty.
