more misc... 1. Johnny Mac is coming out with a book on the emerging church, called The Truth War: Fighting for Certainty in an Age of Deception . Wonderful. It has a nice snake on the cover. I wonder what he's trying to get across?? Prepare for round two of the pummeling.

Seven Questions, pt 1 "What do you see as the four (because three is too traditional) differences between the community of faith you are serving, and those churches in your area? Well...we meet in a pub, which at least on the surface would be a huge one. That means we exist in a public space. One effect this has on our community is that we very much feel the “strangers” part of our Christian identity. We are perpetual guests, existing in someone else’s context, attempting always to bless our hosts and...
