		<title>at the table</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grandview Christian Church in Johnson City, TN is a church that I love very much (and where I served for ten years).  They have just launched a very cool third service.  It meets in the fellowship hall around tables.  It is called The Table.  It is a highly communal Eucharist centered service.  It excites me [...]]]></description>

		<title>summit: just us</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the consistent reminders of the summit was the outrageous truth that God has chosen to work through the church to accomplish God&#8217;s purposes in the world.  In fact one of the highlights for me was a great video piece that explored the the paradox we face when we realize that God&#8217;s response to [...]]]></description>

		<title>summit: church in the real world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Efrem Smith was fantastic.  Nothing I will write will do anything to capture the power of his presentation. I won&#8217;t even try.
He spoke powerfully about the need to do two contrasting things all at the same time.  He called us all to think multi-culturally, and he called us to recognize micro cultures. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>imonk chats about membership</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Internet Monk has been having a fascinating conversation about membership over on his fantastic blog.  His latest interview is my favorite so far.  I&#8217;m no Baptist, but this discussion address issues that are relevant for any tradition that values the local church, baptism, church membership and church discipline.  If those issues [...]]]></description>

		<title>summit: giving people a compass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are a Star Trek fan (or simply a culturally aware person) then you know all about tribbles and you know all about the Borg.  I don&#8217;t think this post has much to do with either one but I plan to mention both at different points so pay attention.  I will be [...]]]></description>

		<title>summit: watching the clock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have spent a lot of my life setting and resetting my timetable.  Plans were made with dates attached, &#8220;By 22 I will have done&#8230;.&#8221;  &#8220;By thirty I will be&#8230;.&#8221;  When a milestone passed and the goal wasn&#8217;t there I will toy with depression and then set a new date.
As I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>preachers and politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a thoughtful reflection on Rick Warren&#8217;s rising influence as a person of political influence.
I have some thoughts I will share here later, but I&#8217;ll give anyone who is listening a chance to reflect first.

		<title>a shameless plug for Jeremiah</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On September 5th and 6th I am teaching on the book of Jeremiah.  I couldn&#8217;t be more excited.  This will be a real stretch for me.  These Conference style teaching formats involve 10-12 hours of teaching over two days.  That means that I have a lot to prep.  But the last weekend was such a [...]]]></description>

		<title>summit: to make you brave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This will be my last post inspired by Gary Haugen&#8217;s session.  It deserves more but I also want to move on through the summit.
Gary connected his call to share the interests of Jesus with the admonition to lead in areas that are hopeless, dangerous, and hard by invoking the following great quote, &#8220;Jesus did [...]]]></description>
