Get Real Christianity

There is a new wave of "get real" Christianity happening these days, accompanied by an surge in artistic expressions of biblical faith. I just returned from a conference on the evolving church in Toronto featuring Chris Seay, Donald Miller, and Brian McLaren. To some, post-modern christianity may be an oxymoron, but questions over terminology and debates over micro vs. meta narratives aside, I think there is much good to be said about getting real about one's faith. I'll allow the keynote speakers to speak for themselves online. Chris Seay is the pastor/lead elder of Ecclesia, Donald Miller is a writer and the author of the groundbreaking Blue Like Jazz and Brian McLaren's blog speaks for himself.

Most of the people I know are Donald Miller fans rather than enemies. Maybe it's just the crowd I hang out with. haha.
