I was browsing around the world wide web today and ran across a podcast of a presentation I did at the Emerging Church for the Existing Church conference over at the Praxis Podcast.
In describing the presentation they posted a pull-quote from my talk. I remember saying this in the fly and thinking at the time – man, I liked that.
Then someone asked me to repeat it and I tried, so I am not sure if this is from the repeat or the first time, but I like it none the less.
Not only do I like it I think in some ways it represents a great opportunity and challenge for Christianity in our day.
“I think that Christianity is fundamentally a people movement that we should understand in social networking theory, not a belief system that we distribute through institutional applications and franchising models.”
So, now it is official – I actually quoted myself on my own blog – cripes.

I have been a fan of the show Desperate Housewives since it first came on the air in 2004. In fact the first season is the among the best narrative preaching I have ever heard – it is so good.
Two weeks ago they aired an episode on church that I thought was terrific. The entire episode is worth watching and you can here. I cut out 11 minutes worth of the Lynette storyline and have posted it here
It is in my wheelhouse of opinion about church and the role of people, sermons and the pastor. Watching it I kept saying, “uh huh…
If you want my take on this it is in my book 
But, this version might even say it better.
