Touching Ground Via Post-Modernism
It seems more and more people are interested in exploring a deconstruction of the contemporary church culture, and still have something to hold on to on the other side. A kind of exercise that sifts out the fluf that gives heresy hold in our communities and keeps us "droning" our way to church many times a week "just because..."
Well, I'm quite excited to feel the rumble of this "emergent" post-modern ground-swell that's sweeping the nations. By creating this blog, I'm joining with a vast crowd of people who have been active in exploring the church out-of-bound from the traditional and charismatic movements where the prophetic and apostolic household names invade our screens. In my opinion, they are just like the rest of us: learning as they go. They need us to stay the course.
I hope to be able to contribute the bread of my own musings and musics and that it will be a blessing. I believe and pray for a new articulation of the church, for a new understanding of the Incarnation, and a new generation of theologians that will bring us back in the loop of examining God's kenosis (self-emptying), and how this is pertinent to us.
We, as a global worldwide collectiveness need to grow up, and I, for the first time, feel we're 'about' to move past our collective adolescence. Thanks to an army of faithfuls around the world who are exploring and embracing their generation's means of expression and communication, there are many sites who deserve our attention.
It's time to level the path for the Lord to have access to us. Let's not become like some of the traditional churches (remembering that the definition embraces also many of the charismatic stream) who can't let go of their holy relics for fear God is inside those objects, or metaphysically moved by how we manipulate them according to a certain liturgy.
Carpe Deum,
Andre
