- Reclaiming the Mission » McLaren’s New Kind of Christianity – There’s a parting of the ways here – and that’s alright – Towards a New Missional Nicaea (Someday)
- Here's another post on the divide that many folks believe is happening in the emerging church – between the Emergent folks, the missional folks, and this one adds the Neo-Reformed folks. I'm still saddened by the idea. It occurs to me that I'm saddened partly because this is a movement where I felt even folks like me who don't know where to fit (aside from not being Neo-Reformed) might have a place, seeking the heart of God and sharpening one another. But regardless, this is a graceful post, and there are some great comments. One comforting line is this, "all these differences can only be worked out ON THE GROUND, in real life communities led by the Holy Spirit in the same way it always has."

- The GOP's "small government" tea party fraud – Glenn Greenwald – Salon.com
- "There's a major political fraud underway: the GOP is once again donning their libertarian, limited-government masks…" If you've followed this blog, I did support Ron Paul and Barack Obama in the primaries, and this helps explain why this is possible. Anyone who thinks the GOP is moving toward Ron Paul needs to read this.

- The Palestinian Question: The Refusnik Movement – Waving or Drowning?

- Why I'm NOT Leaving Emergent | Emerging Pensees
- Mike Clawson reflects upon why he is not leaving Emergent, in light of all the recent posts of people leaving. I'm in much the same boat, personally. I'm not in a liberal seminary (or any seminary) like he is, but my wife is at Emory, and he's right that most Emergent theology is not on the liberal side.
