The Missional/Attractional Divide: Dan Kimball Unpolarized : Subversive Influence
"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."

Three Questions for Attractional Practitioners who Question the Fruit of Missional :: Reclaiming the Mission :: The Weblog of David Fitch
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.

2012 : Jesus Manifesto
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.

Angst-giving : Jesus Manifesto
Great post that calls us to practice Angst-giving and reject the myths that Empire gives us. "And so, this Thanksgiving, I encourage you to practice Angst-giving. Not as an expression of ungratitude. Rather, give thanks to God for those things that are blessings. And repent and lament those things that flow from injustice."

My Non-Negotiables for the Obama Administration – BlakeHuggins.com
A good set of non-negotiables for the Obama Administration. I can really resonate with Blake's attitude, as well as with his list. As an aside, I would love to see Bush and Cheney tried for crimes against humanity, but I don't believe it will happen, so I wouldn't put it on my list.

Globalization and Consumerism
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.
