Check Out the CopperHouse Current

Woodlake Books in Canada has launched an e-mail newsletter that seeks to connect Christians who are on the "emerging Christian way." If you've heard of Brian McLaren and Emergent Christianity, this is similar but different. The best way to describe this viewpoint is to suggest you read Marcus Borg's The Heart of Christianity. This newsletter is called the CopperHouse Current and I think you might find it of interest. Now, I will say that this issue that just came this evening answers a question I had sent in concerning how the Emerging Way connected with the Emergent Christians -- Borg and McLaren. Tim Scorer, editor of the newsletter pointed out that when he had attended a seminar this past summer in Portland that featured Borg and McLaren, Borg said he didn't find anything to disagree with in McLaren's presentation -- so there you have it. Well, and Tim made nice comments about this blog as well

Having received this letter from Bob Cornwall with a link to his blog, I was curious to see what he had to offer. I found a blog called “Ponderings on a Faith Journey: The Thoughts and Opinions of a Disciples of Christ Pastor and Church Historian.” Bob ranges over an immense catalogue of topics, all the way from a reflection on the feast of the Epiphany, through a call for peace in the Middle East, to a theological reflection on the passing of President Gerald Ford. Woven into his easy-going and thoughtful style is a theology highly attuned to the emerging Christian way. Clearly well-read and highly attentive to the affairs of the day, Bob’s writing is accessible and engaging. Well worth a visit!

-- and for that I thank him and in return, let me say -- go check out the newsletter.

If you're stopping by as a result of reading the current Current leave me a note in the comments section below.
