WoW!

I really love having the blogsphere on my blog! LOL I just noticed what Brian McLaren says about the churches of Christ, Disciples of Christ and the Christian Church. Here is what he said:

What do Stone-Campbell churches (Churches of Christ, Christian Churches, Disciples of Christ) add to the discussion of the emerging church?
Answer: In “A Generous Orthodoxy,” I offer a few comments about Restorationist movements in church history – I think they would generally be relevant to the Stone-Campbell movement. Most Restorationist churches have wonderful high ideals, and often related to the need for generosity in avoiding sectarianism. Sadly, there is often a fine line between “we accept people of all denominations” and ‘we accept people who leave all denominations.” Even so, the courage to go back to the New Testament and be willing to change anything that gets in the way of living the gospel is, to me, a heroic feature of all restorationist churches.

Interesting, uh? I about fell out of my chair when I read this. I wonder sometimes being apart of that world we forget the postives. I know I did for a long time, but I know have been able to see the postives and would love to see our family come up to a place to be apart of this culture.
