Ryan Bolger’s last post was on October 12th…I’m thinking he hasn’t had much time between his teaching at Fuller, and putting finishing touches on his new book Emerging Churches: Creating Christian Community in Postmodern Cultures which is due out this December.
But that’s okay, because I keep going to his last post, thinking about what he is saying. Check out

I am personally wrestling with this thought below, as we sometimes wonder as a college community where our energy should be put. Ryan says,
When the bulk of the community’s energy goes to maintaining a church service, it implies that the church service is more holy, more important, more worthy of our time than the everyday practice of our spirituality.
