a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life
Well, it’s not quite midnight, but unless there is a deluge of voters in the next half hour, the topic has been decided. “Pacifism… or Who Would Jesus Bomb?” is the topic for the next podcast of A Different Perspective. We’ll see what happens as I prepare for the show over the weekend. I’m hoping [...]
Until you vote, you can’t see the numbers, but the topic for the next podcast is deadlocked in a three-way tie. I won’t tell you which ones, but the four choices are: How do you define an emerging church? Human sexuality Sermon-centered worship… why it must go! Pacifism… or Who Would Jesus Bomb? On the [...]
I’ve noticed a call lately, by several bloggers and others, for those within the emerging church to offer up a kind of self-critique. I think this is valuable work that needs to be done. But it is also a difficult task. Because the emerging church encompasses so many different traditions, styles, and structures, there could [...]
Excellent. All of my blog posts are now available directly through this blog. I was able to transfer from Nucleus (a royal pain in the arse, but it finally worked) to b2evolution. A couple days ago, I transferred my very old blogger posts into b2evolution. I did lose comments from Nucleus, but I can deal [...]
With the Mac Mini, I think Apple is finally going to begin to make a dent in the PC domination of general computer sales. Maybe I’m just an optimist, but take my word for it, once you go Mac, you never go back. I was a skeptic when I got my Mac January 1, 2004. [...]
http://www.alanhartung.com/podcasts/a-different-perspective-5.mp3 The two topics you’re never supposed to bring up at a dinner party, merged into one here on A Different Perspective. Show notes: MLK, Jr. holiday! TiVo-ish aspects of Podcasting… If you don’t like a section, just forward through it!!! http://www.b2evolution.net/ for the best blogging software!

In about an hour, I’ll be uploading my Faith and Politics podcast. I thought it fitting for this topic to do it on MLK day. I found an insightful post on the emergent-us blog by Tony Jones.
A few years ago, I was introduced to a concept about the “shadow side” of human personalities. To oversimplify it, we all have natural activities that we gravitate towards, and if we don’t recognize the “shadow side” … the part nurtured by activities we may actually put effort into avoiding… will grow into glaring flaws. [...]
Well, I had a new one today. Walking down the street at the Venice boardwalk, this lady hands me a “million dollar bill.” At first, I just thought it was a joke thing, since there are a lot of strange people in Venice (and I don’t say that in a bad way… I live there [...]
Dean says some interesting things in this interview. I personally believe that Republicans should fear Dean winning the chairmanship of the DNC. They would fear even more if Dean or whoever ends up chairing the DNC would learn how to not detest evangelicals (for Dean I should say learn how to teach others not to [...]
