You know how in police dramas like Barney Miller or Hill Street Blues all the cops are hanging around the station and they either have on police uniforms or shirts and ties? But there is always that one undercover guy who looks like the last thing he is is a cop? He is totally a cop, he just doesn't look like it, which actually helps him do his job. Well, last night as I was heading out the door to go to a synod meeting with a bunch of other Lutheran pastors I realized "I'm that guy".

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"

Be careful out there...

What happens when you start talking to someone -- does your use of language -- grammar, word choice etc -- ever give you away? Or just the way you care for others? I expect the dissonance between who you are and who people may think you are at first glance will draw people to take a second look or listen to what you say. And then they will stay to listen because of who you are.
