It’s Time To Rethink Everything

Doug — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:08:01 +0000

In an effort with Relevant.com our publisher Jossey-Bass an imprint of Wiley, has launched a site called ReThink Christianity (www.RethinkChristianity.com) featuring our (tony, mark and me) books.

The site is designed to be interactive with posts and videos.
Each week we will have a new question that we are looking for a written or video response to.
We will have a “video confession booth” at each of our church basement roadshows, so if you are at the show shoot your video there.

The site has just launched and needs your videos. Head on over and give us a response to this weeks question “Why do you think that so many people are questioning the traditional ways of doing church?”

Need a Little help getting a lamp from Lincoln, NE to Wichita, KS

We left a prop for the show in Lincoln, Nebraska and are looking for someone to drive it to Wichita, KS.

That is what I am talking about

Doug — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 16:08:28 +0000

My book has been out for a month now and people are starting to wrestle with the ideas in the book - which I have so looked forward to.

This post is from Garrett in Birmingham Alabama.

I just finished page 144 of A Christianity Worth Believing. Pagitt says some wonderful things and some things I really have questions about. Hopefully I can find someone who will dialogue with me about this book. It seems like the main point of this chapter is to leave “the depravity” version of the creation story …

I look forward to interactions like this and foresee some of this happening during the Book Club on Monday nights in the fall - more on that coming soon.

France and Italy this Summer

Doug — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:12:09 +0000

In a once in a lifetime trip Shelley and I are going to France and Italy this summer.

We are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary . We are also taking Michon with us her European Immersion after high school graduation.

We are looking for good travel tips and making a hopeful plea for people to take us in for a night or two.

We will be staying from August 11-16 in Nice at a Friends house. If you have input for a week in Nice let me know.

Then we will be making our way toward Rome August 17-20 and fly home from Nice on the 21st.

At this point we are still up in the air as to where we are staying in Rome, but our friend Annie will be giving us tours through her tour company.

So, any input or hookups would be fabulous.
