Comments on: Is The House Studio emergent? http://www.thehousestudio.com/wp/2010/03/04/is-the-house-studio-emergent/ Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:56:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Cliff Purcell http://www.thehousestudio.com/wp/2010/03/04/is-the-house-studio-emergent/comment-page-1/#comment-2850 Cliff Purcell Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:11:17 +0000 http://www.thehousestudio.com/wp/?p=1338#comment-2850 Refusing to engage in a witchhunt and not particularly interested in being cool, I don't care whether the House is emergent or not or anti-emergent or post-emergent or para-emergent. While I appreciate your Arminian commitments (though ol' Jake and I have a few differences...), what draws me back to you guys and your work is that you are Christian-- not nominally so, but missionally so. Thank you for helping people do the Kingdom (dtK).

He's doing some really great things within it. Yes; it's a bit heady and swims around in the philosophical pond quite a lot, it's important to set the context of what they're doing. Well worth the time and effort Rollins' book is fantastic! He's doing some really great things within it.

And I have Rollins' book open on my desk right now. Just getting started. What can you tell me about him? Do you know anything about his Ikon organization? Thanks for the encouragement.

I've been very impressed with your books so far, because they're so much more concerned with how our faith should directly affect our lifestyle, and how to actually carry out that lifestyle, rather than focusing mainly on belief. Thank you for that. Another book that I'm finding really useful in the conversation is Peter Rollins' "How (not) to speak of God".

For instance, I'm an unashamed, committed, enthusiastic "Christian." If that's also your label, let's shake hands and get about the business of living the Great Commandment and accomplishing the Great Commission. Who knows? We might even enjoy discussing some of the finer points of our beliefs as we fellowship together. Personally, I'm a big fan of labels.

At first I expected you to just ride the fence. (not that you took a side), but you certainly we're able to help people distinguish what you ARE and ARE NOT. I very much liked this response Bruce!
