George P. Wood at AG Think Tank asked for some feedback on the AG General Council’s interest in drumming up support for our four core doctrines: Salvation, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing, and the Rapture of the Saints.
I offered my two cents (and about a dollar more thrown in for good measure) here.
We just returned a couple of hours ago from an extended trip away from home, and it feels good to let our own furniture bear our familiar weight. The first half of the week was spent at District Council for the
Northern California and Nevada district of the Assemblies of God. For those unfamiliar with our governance, it is basically an excuse to get a bunch of old friends together to do a little business and a lot of catching up, praying together, etc. A very good time this year, as we got to hear George O. Wood preach for two nights straight – he’s our General Superintendent (our pope, as Glen would say) and gave NorCal/Nev a great first impression of his leadership as one who is educated, humble, and really connected to Jesus in a profound way. Some other highlights from the trip:
Emergent Village posted an article announcing Emergent Hybrid Synergy today, in which AGMergent was featured as “probably one of the newest groups to form,” in what is the emergent experiment. My thanks to Tony and Steve for shining the spotlight on this fledgling conversation about the intersection of the emergent and pentecostal movements.
If the folks at the heart of emergent are thrilled at this hybridization phenomenon, I’m the equivalent. The young and energetic pentecostal movement is embodied beautifully in environments like this one, in which the new life promised by Jesus springs up in surprising and hopeful ways.
If there are any bloggers out there who come from the pentecostal stream and are engaged in the emerging church, regardless of your particular tribe or ministerial status, you’re invited to join the conversation at http://agmergent.wordpress.com … just shoot an e-mail to jfohara(at)gmail.com.
