being [emergent]

Don't get me wrong, i think the emergent church movement (or 'fresh expessions' in the C of E version of trying to put an instututional stamp on the same thing) is a good thing on the whole - I have concerns about authority and accountability but that will have to wait til i get the idea for my Ph.D thesis sorted!...

It does seem, though, after a trawl through a few emergent blogs that what i really need to do is start putting square brackets around things if i really want to be emergent... so what do you reckon to [new kid on on the blog] or to give it a really edgy theme [newkidontheblog]

And the camels galled, sorefooted, refractory, Lying down in the melting snow. There were times we regretted The summer palaces on slopes, the terraces, And the silken girls bringing sherbet. Then the camel men cursing and grumbling and running away, and wanting their liquor and women, And the night-fires going out, and the lack of shelters, And the cities hostile and the towns unfriendly And the villages dirty and charging high prices: A hard time we had of it.

Happy Christmas everyone

The title says it all really! It's about 1.40am and I have just got back from the last of my 'midnight' services - which started at 7.30pm!
