Thanks for the thoughts on the previous post – it is a question I discussed today with our breakfast group.
We meet each month to read and discuss a chapter of Al Hirsch’s book – ‘Shaping of Things to Come’. There was no great answer forthcoming from the group, but I have a theory gestating.

Come on all you emerging church thinkers… what is it?
Its a serious question that arose after a conversation with a good mate today.
What is the opposite of incarnational?…
If you missed it today then you missed one of the great days in surfing history!!

Today I spent the day teaching my students at the Christian school I am employed by – where only kids with at least one Christian parent can attend. What of non-Christians?…
Well they can go to… the school down the street of course! (You weren’t thinking ‘hell’ were you?!)
From there I made my way home [...]
