"I say we live in a post-Christendom context, but here's a point that doesn't get mentioned: Christendom, like modernity itself, isn't gone. It's still alive and well in its own context, and in those contexts it doesn't appear that it's going anywhere anytime soon. That's why attractional churches still work… just not in every context or with every people group. There are some people groups who are repelled by it."
Questions directed toward those who wonder whether missional church has fruit. They strike me as extremely well-thought questions that can really enhance dialogue between these forms of church.
Great thoughts on the precipice to which our economy has brought us, and how we as the church and we as individuals can respond. It syncs with a lot of things that I think are being spoken to me in the last few weeks, especially.

Interesting thoughts on the anti-globalization and "ultra-pro-free-market capitalism" extremes. Julie really indicates that it isn't as simple as many of us who care about the poor and suffering sometimes make it. We act as though not buying things from China will help solve the problems that we have helped cause, and it doesn't work that way.
PBS documentary that investigates the torturous practices of the United States in recent years. It's difficult to say more about this. Although I should say that you can watch it online at this URL.
"After a remarkable voter turnout, an unprecedented, multicultural moment has arrived. The election of Barack Obama as president proves that "Change has come." So how shall we respond?"
