Blogs on Emerging Church

Just met with Pete Pillinger who is the new Methodist person on Fresh Expressions.  Great bloke and fantastic chat with him with some exciting opportunities for the future.  Fresh Expressions are adopting a high level approach to Mission Accompaniment and Cliff has developed a Diploma in Mission Accompaniment which we hope will form the basis for developing new ways of training and development for Mission Accompaniers for Fresh Expressions...lets see.

I was talking to Pete about blogging on Emerging Church and came up with my highlight list for my own explorations.  I realised how myopic it is.  So if any one reads my blog and has some suggestions for other blogs I really should be aggregating (and reading!), please let me know - broaden my horizons everyone!!!

Here's my brief list so far:

Hope that helps to keep you going.

In the meantime, noting that your post comes out of a conversation regarding Fresh Expressions, let me sugget we need a frank conversation about the conflict of values between the emerging church and the historic denominations. I'll try to post something mischievous on my blog. I just hope it doesn't get me a disciplinary charge.
