Asphalt Gospel film on sale

Friday, January 29th, 2010

I was just renewing my membership with The Center for Progressive Christianity and discovered that they are selling the DVD about CrossWalk America’s 2006 walk across America, The Asphalt Gospel, for $15 ($13.50 for TCPC members)!  They’ve normally been $25.  According to the site, the sale ends in December, but I just ordered some copies and got the discount.

Dr. Elnes Invited to Become Editorial Writer for United Church News

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Dr. Elnes was recently asked by United Church News – the UCC’s online news journal – to become one of a handful of editorial writers in 2010.  Today United Church News published the first of a handful of articles he will write this year, this one called “Toward a profound emergence.”  In it, Dr. Elnes gives the top 5 reasons why he believes Christianity is morphing into a new, more exciting form.  You can find the editorial at http://www.ucc.org/news/opinion-moving-toward-a.html.

If you find it helpful, why not send it on to your friend list via email, Facebook, etc.?  By so doing, you not only raise awareness of Countryside Church, but of a grassroots shift taking place within Christianity that many will find encouraging.

Toward a profound emergence

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Today the UC News published an editorial I wrote called “Toward a profound emergence,” which gives the top 5 reasons why I believe Christianity is morphing into a new, more exciting form.  Countrysider’s won’t find any surprises in it, but in case you’d like to read it or send a link to friends, you can find it at http://www.ucc.org/news/opinion-moving-toward-a.html.

This article is part of a handful that I’ve been asked to write by the UCC in 2010.  If you find the article helpful, I encourage you to pass it on to others through email, Facebook, etc.  Thanks!
