BloggingExcuse the cross-posting from my blog, A Wee Blether, but I thought Presbymergent might help me out with my sabbath/technology reflections. Enjoy.
Saturday: Secular Sabbath or Christian Cop-out?
Wow. Mark Bittman’s article in Sunday’s NY Times, “I need a virtual break. No Really.” is a fascinating argument for “secular sabbath” in our technology age. [...]
I found a great article on line that I wanted to bring up here: There Is No Emerging Church: A Defense of the Emerging Church.
The author writes:

Just wanted to let you all know of a recent addition we’ve made to the site. When you click on an individual post and write a comment, before you click on Submit to publish your comment, you can now check a box that says, “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.” This way, even though [...]

Does anyone know of good online text discussion groups or blogs that discuss upcoming lectionary texts?
I’m all for creative forms of exegesis and figure somebody smarter than me has already set something up. Can you help me out?

Unexpected joys . . .
Feedback and continued conversations around issues/thoughts raised during [...]
Here on Presbymergent, we want to continue to find ways to enhance authenticity, something that is always difficult to foster & maintain on an online community. One way that we can do that is to use our first and last names on the posts that we submit. After browsing through our User List (which is [...]
As this community continues to develop with all of these great posts and contributions, we’d also like to begin a bit of a “redesign” process and shape the look of this site into something a little more fitting for our community. There was a post during the first week of our discussion about looking [...]
