Reclaiming Paul, day one

October 22nd, 2008 | Comments (1) | Trackbacks (1) |

It’s late and I’m pretty tired, so I’m gonna do this post as a list.

1) As I write this, I’m listening to Mike Crawford and his Secret Siblings present Songs from Jacob’s Well, Volumes I & II: Even the Darkness Will Not Be Dark To You. I’m two songs in and my mind is blown. Mike is the Worship/Arts Pastor at Jacob’s Well, and I hope to connect with him tomorrow or Friday.

2) I was the chauffeur for Tim Ghali and Daniel Kirk this evening. Besides being a ridiculously high-volume Twitter user (he pretty much posted the opening session word-for-word; an impressive feat), Daniel is the first Ph.D. to ever ride shotgun in my car.

3) I live-streamed the audio from the first session here, and I’ll try to do it for other general sessions (check the schedule) as long as my laptop battery holds up — there are very, very few outlets in the Jacob’s Well sanctuary.

4) Apparently Tony Jones missed the memo. You can follow the whole Reclaiming Paul conversation that’s happening on Twitter here.

5) Erik and I hung out with Don Heatley tonight. He’s a super cool dude. A while back I posted a link to this post Don wrote on his blog.

6) Steve Knight has a good roundup Reclaiming Paul-oriented online happenings on the Emergent Village blog.

7) Money quote of the day:

“The impending failure of Protestant mainline denominations is their desire to create bureaucratic superstructures where people discuss theological issues in large convention centers and take votes on what we believe.” – Tony Jones

8) That is all. For now.
