Bob Robinson at vanguardchurch-bob’s blog<\/a> writes about why, as a person who is reformed in theology, he also is drawn to the Emergent movement. This is great stuff, which really resonates with me. He notes that many Emergent thinkers haven’t abandoned the concept of orthodoxy, but stress “the importance of seeking orthodoxy for the sake of developing a Christ-like community.” He also writes: “I feel that we who are both ‘Reformed’ and ‘Emergent’ must make very clear is that a hallmark of Reformation Theology is ‘semper reformata’ (‘always reforming’).”<\/p>\n

Anna Aven, who’s blog Deep Soil<\/a> is one of the prettiest God blogs I’ve seen, writes about women “keeping silent” in the church. This caught my attention because Anna asks why churches that admonish women to wear head coverings don’t admonish them to practice the “holy kiss,” which is mentioned more often than head coverings. I grew up in a Plymouth Bretheren church that was big into the head covering thing. There was one guy who also was into the “holy kiss” thing, which I remember because my dad, who is a wonderfully warm man but not one to kiss other men, always made sure to extend this guy a friendly, but firm and distant, handshake, so as to avoid the kiss. It makes me laugh to this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
