My brain is fried....therefore, I can offer you no new and original material of my own this Friday...but here is some good stuff for weekend reading!
Mark Roberts has got a great post over at One True God Blog on MTV and the Formation of the Soul.
I am quite positive that watching Beavis and Butthead, The Real World, or MTV Spring Break during my formative college years was not very soul forming in the way that I would have liked. Mark just doesn't look at MTV here, but also talks about those who may watch too much Fox News, talking heads, etc.
Tod Bolsinger has got a great series right now on the Sermon on the Mount. I have particularly liked reading The Problem with Narrow and Do you trust me?
Rudy Carrasco is the executive director of the Harambee Christian Family Center in Pasadena, CA, and he has a great post titled Ethnic Diversity Within the Church That is Emerging. This article begins with this paragraph:
I get asked a lot about whether the emerging church discussion is just something for white guys with two books under the arm and a budget to travel around to conferences. Of course, rarely does anyone ask it in precisely that way, but that's not far from a composite question. The answer is no. To be sure, there is dialogue happening at national events, in books and magazines, and on prominent blogs that often looks like the aforementioned caricature. But people who are familiar with Emergent and interested in the questions about church and culture, fixing what is broken, and epistemology, are diverse by geography, theological tradition, and ethnicity. You just may not be familiar with them.
Rudy goes on to link about 24 different bloggers from a diversity of backgrounds. Good stuff.
Craig Wiliams who blogs a lot about CS Lewis, has a great post here called, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: A Question of Tactics. This is a good post, especially as we get closer to the movie premier of this book.
