From the author:When I arrived at Yale Divinity School back in 1988, I expected to engage in an intense period of discussion and self-reflection around issues like eschatology, evangelism, and ecclesiology with fellow Protestants of all stripes (with a few Catholics thrown in as sort of a guilty pleasure). After all, despite our theological differences, surely we all at least bought into this Nicene Creed biz where it clearly states that Jesus was born, died, and then rose again from the dead? Silly me.Instead way, way, way too much time was spent navel gazing over trivial topics like Why can't priests be promiscuous? What priestly perks come with this parish? Is YDS a Christian' divinity school? (This Q comes courtesy of the fundy faithful) and my favorite Why don't you use ^%$#@ inclusive language in worship? (Uh, Jesus was a "dude." Hello.) I just don't see why the creator of all, who loves all of her creation unconditionally, would bring his son into the world to suffer, die, and then rise from the dead unless he knew such an act was needed to transform the world. There's no way God would have given us the gift of eternal life just so we could stage Christian catfights that make us all look like biblical buffoons.Yes, we can point the finger at silver tongued televangelists and politicians behaving unbiblically. But the more I cover Christian carnage, I realize that this foolish quest to conform Christ's teachings to the whims of one's own socio-political agenda has started to stink up the local churches big time. I know Jesus was born in a barn but do churches have to smell like one as well? In I Died for This? I will pick up my pitchfork and muck out the spiritual stables for signs of the living Christ hidden under the mounds of Jesus junk and faith fertilizer. My search will start when I first set foot in the Promised Land in January 2007 and conclude with the 2008 election a.k.a. the Presidential Promised Land. Along the way I will expose emergent excesses, debunk democratic dogma and other biblical bunk that separates us from the radical rule breaking, love making rabble rouser who came to save us all.… (altro)

Becky invites, *As part of the launch for my new book "Jesus Died for This?" (Zondervan, August 2010), I am launching a podcast featuring a number of voices who are featured in this book. This includes a number of US and UK Anglican voices that I thought might be of interest to some in Anglimergent. If you're interested, here's the link.*
jonny baker says, "she does a good job it seems of sniffing out where people are seeking out creative and authentic ways to follow in the way of christ. she is one of many pilgrims who have found friendship in the emerging communities in the uk and grenbelt festival to take back as inspiration.
to accompany the book becky has been interviewing people and uploading movies and podcasts where she asks people to respond to the idea of what jesus died for - the video stream is here (the answer i wish i had given is spencer burke's where he suggests we should be asking what jesus lived for! i give something a lot more earnest) | the podcast stream is here (becky throws me a googlie question - what do i say to people who say that the mainline denominations are dead - the new is where it is at!?). the quality of some of the interviews is rough and ready but that's part of its charm..."

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate he suffered death and was buried. On the third dye he rose again ... ~ The Nicean Cread
It's time we untangled the narrative of faith from the fundamentalists, pious self-helpers, and religion pro-lifers. And let's do it with holy mischief rather than ideological firepower. `Geez Magazine
Satire has become my grail; it is the chalace I drink from where i know God is in charge. Christ has given me redemption, and I can laugh at my feeble attempt at trying to do something with this fledgling faith. ~ Murray Stiller, Filmmaker Nailin' It To The Church
The Words of Public Teaching: The Assertion of Now Jesus said: "The Kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say "See, here it it" or "Look, there it is!" For behold, the Kingdom of God is in the midst of you." ~ Jesus Christ A Gospel of the sayings of Our Lord, with Reflectoins by Phyllis Tkcke

Although I possess this inborn hunger to connect with the Jesus whom I encounter in the Gospels, I often wonder if he's truly present when Christians gather together in his name.
