CrossWalk Blog and Must-Read/Listen Links

I am joining the CrossWalk America blog, and will be posting on Mondays there from now until Easter.

My first post, "Magnificat," is up today (edited Wednesday, 7:00 a.m. -h)

----

Bill Kinnon has a thought-provoking series going:

Marketing the Church, Part 1
Marketing the Church, Part 2
Marketing the Church, Part 2b
Marketing the Church, Part 3
Marketing the Church, Part 4 (coming soon)

----

Listen to the CrossWalk America podcast with Brian McLaren.

Eric and Brian discuss Kingdom-centeredness (and its opposition to church/worship "style"), worship participation (opposed to spectating), the breakdown of a "sacred/secular divide," community-based (versus hierarchical) leadership, and Christianity for the coming 500 years. They touched on colonialism (!!!), transcending absolutism/relativism, and "theological anthropology" (the way we define and understand "human being" from a religious perspective. Brian rightly sees that most Christians are living with an oudated Platonistic/dualistic idea of what it means to be human, and describes the struggle we're going through as we reach for a new understanding).
