I am in the middle of a course that helps nail it down. It is called the "Bridge" course - four months of working on the subject, problem, research etc I am pretty sure it will be on The Practicing Church how to morph a traditional church into a missional community...my project from this course will be a dissertation proposal so we will see. See you soon, I can't wait! Hi Ellen!

Reading Lesslie Newbigin makes me feel sane again. Rose,

Steve and Pat - yeah I revisit Newbigin every so often. He is helpful on so many levels for today...as a practitioner on the ground - where I live life, his thoughts on the congregation and leadership help me discern in the midst of so much change and so many voices a way forward for my context.

I have enjoyed watching your dmin dissertation come together. I have been thinking through "church" as in ecclesia at the point of Pentecost recently and was flipping through Ray Anderson's Emergent Theology for Emerging Churches today (mostly missed I think) and I was thinking precisely about how the church is and will always be about "moving from tradition to mission to tradition to mission." As Anderson puts it from Jerusalem to Antioch. The ecclesia settles in and gets comfy and the spirit moves it on to Antioch. Anyway, your thesis thought made me think of that. Jason Rose,
