been gone so long...

I don't like the fact that I haven't been on here in so long and I still don't have much to say.

I will recommend a book for anyone who cares. Listening to the Beliefs of Emerging Churches is a book that consists of five different authors (Mark Driscoll, John Burke, Dan Kimball, Doug Pagitt, and Karen Ward). Each author contributes a chapter while the others offer a brief response. As a young guy in ministry who feels called to preach and pastor in this day and age, I highly recommend it. It presents many different theological views as well as methodologies. I have read everyone's chapter except Karen Ward's. I've laughed, wondered, almost cussed (Doug Pagitt), and smiled at truth (Mark Driscoll).

Don't take my word for it. Read it yourself.
