I just received an e-mail about a conference going on in Atlanta this weekend about urban ministry/emergent church ministry. One of the leaders of this is Rev. Troy Brosnink, a graduate of Columbia Seminary and community organizer/songwriter/artist/public educator. He has a blog called
Church as Art. It looks to be a fairly new site, with many of the pages linking you back to the homepage, but he has some interesting things to say. There is an article on him on the
Creative Loafing website (he's listed as the 6th
least influential person in Atlanta). It also provides a very brief introduction on the emergent church movement.
I'm just now becoming more familiar with what exactly the "emergent church" movement is. The new moderator of the PC(USA),
Bruce Reyes-Chow, is a member of this movement which is seeking new ways of "doing" church in the postmodern world. There is also another blog that is helpful in finding out more about the emergent church (which is apparently a huge supporter of blogging...) in the PCUSA called
presbymergent.

So apparently the other "in" thing to do is to wear a sweater and have your picture taken slightly off-center ;-)
Thanks for the link and please let me know if you have any questions.
I'm not sure who had the sweater pic taken first:) Thanks for the link.
