We had a REALLY "traditional" Thanksgiving!
We had some Native American friends over who shared their traditional foods with us.
After dinner, we liquored 'em up and screwed 'em in a real estate deal.
Traditional Thanksgiving indeed.

books and magazines i dig
Nadia Bolz-Weber: Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television
This is my book. It will change your life. Ok, not really.- Nadia Bolz-Weber (that's me!): Salvation on the Small Screen? 24 Hours of Christian Television
Here's my book. You should buy it. Kester Brewin: Signs of Emergence
This book is tremendous. Drawing on his background as a math teacher, Brewin explores why the church is where it is and why it is to change...using complexity theory. This is a must read.Edward and Lorna Mornin: Saints: A Visual Guide
This is a gorgeous handbook of the saints.Peter Rollins: How (Not) to Speak of God.
Pete is an emerging church pastor of the Ikon community in Belfast, Ireland. I can't recommend this book enough.Phyllis Tickle: The divine hours
Phyllis is one the smartest women I've ever met. I'm using this book for matins and noon prayer as well as vespers and compline.- the original editor of Ad Busters: Geez Magazine
*holy mischief in an age of fast faith* I cannot recommend this enough. Ad free, gorgeous, pleasingly dangerous. geez Anne Lamott: Traveling Mercies : Some Thoughts on Faith
One of my favorite books of all time. She's pretty cranky and sarcastic too.Eddie Gibbs: Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Community in Postmodern Cultures
Gibbs and Bolger spent 5 years compiling this book which relys heavily on interviews with emerging church leaders in the US and the UK. They seem to favor independant churches over denominational ones...so very little is said about us "loyal radicals"

Darling Nadia,
I'm so glad I finally took a minute on the dreaded interweb and read yer blog. Its phenomenal, as I would have expected.
I'm going to try to make it to the pub this week, but I've got a kind of unconventional "holiday" to celebrate.
Thanks for being so smart and neat.
Luv, andie

Delurking this week...love your blog. You're so funny I almost started laughing out loud at work (not an laughing-at-loud place...also not a blog-reading place, but let's not talk about that...) I find so many self-identifying Emergent people so conservative on multilevels that they tend to scare me, but I think I could have a beer with someone like you.;-)

Lutheran Chick - thanks for de-lurking and welcome. Yes I struggle with the whole bait-and-switch emerging church thing where a church seems really cool because they have candles and say "crap", but then their theology still sucks. I have found the greatest affinity with Lutheran and Anglicans - and some American Baptists stragely enough. Anyhow, look me up if you're in Denver. Hey, we're planning an ELCA national emerging church conference this summer. Details to follow...hope you can make it.
