Well, it's been a while since this has happened - fellow blogger Andrew Jones has linked to an article I wrote for Next-Wave e-zine a while back. I hope he doesn't think I just wrote that since it says "August 2008" at the top of it for some reason. This was actually a conglomeration of 3 blog posts I did a couple of years ago I think, in which I tried to help identify different streams of what was going on in the emerging church scene.
That was back in the more than 50 readers a day days. I've not been the most prolific blogger in the last year or so. Even if I was, I'm not quite doing what I was then. Moving back into the Catholic Church hasn't exactly done a lot for my emerging street cred, know wha' I'm sayin'? Anyway, it was interesting to see that link today. Funny, bunch of young whipper-snappers might read that and be like, "Alan Creech, who's that - I'll have to check this guy out." Haa!

is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus

completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self." Henri Nouwen
