BLC's Community Blog - the Gatherings, Life Groups, discipleship, social issues, prayers, worship experiences, insights into the Scripture... no random statements of who we had lunch with and what our dogs ate for breakfast. The place where strangers get to know us as a community, who we are, what we're like, how we function, and to experience what it'll be like to be a part of us.

Emerging Faith Communities - fellow Lutherans & more!

Karen Ward was one of the first people in the world to ask me to blog. During that time an interesting Church of the Apostles was just born. Here's a recent description of where they are at. Let's continue to pray for them as they reach out to people over on the other side of the globe.

Spirit Garage was actually featured with us in a Lutheran World Federation magazine with the theme "Emerging Faith Communities". Here' the latest report I read. check ou this interesting article the Welcome at Spirit Garage

We've been very blessed indeed with these beyond Bangsar connections (locally and globally), whether it's just because we are connected to the Lutheran heritage (Besides my recent summer school in Germany with Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria James was a steward at the recent 10th LWF Assembly in Canada) or simply because we've built some friendships those linked with Emergent (like Jason Clark) and others who converge with our adventures, all this keeps us from having an "isolated" or "insulated" mindset and broadens our horizons. We're a "young BLC family" part of a wider Lutheran family ... and more importantly part of the Christian family worldwide. Maybe that's why God sent us the Aussies, the Finnish, and the Germans to remind us that :-)

Amen to that. I love it when people of different cultures come together, try to understand one another and get along. It makes me very happy.

The links on this entry to the other churches are inspiring me... time to redesign the Living Room.
