Michael Coren on The Passion: "Hideous, stupid and barbaric"

This is some pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic blood cult. It is populated with medieval-type caricatures, screaming out of context, laughing at suffering.

Everyone is gruesome and grotesque, apart from a handful of people such as the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene and the apostle John. Mary, by the way, is hardly off of the screen, when in fact she is seldom mentioned in the Gospel accounts...

I wanted majesty and pathos but was given clumsiness and thumping. Yet God's grace and His love still surround me.

If the movie works for you, I am happy. For me, it is prayer, Bible and a dwelling in a God-given imagination that this hyped Hollywood product can never rival.

I'm in Boston starting Sunday for two weeks for the first residency of my D.Min. On a whim, I phoned the hotel today to check that they had broadband. In my mind, this is like asking a hotel if their rooms come with beds and running water. Why wouldn't a hotel have broadband? What kind of joint wouldn't?

I found out that they don't have broadband now, but it's being installed Saturday. If all goes well, it will be up and running by the time I arrive on Sunday. If all doesn't go well...

I tend to agree with this point:

The church, some insist, is not some mere voluntary arrangement that we can abandon just because we do not happen to like some of the other people in the group. God calls us to the church, and that means that God requires that we hang in there with each other, even if that goes against our natural inclinations. I agree with that formulation.

It always amazes me that my tribe thinks they have the luxury of splitting over secondary issues. If we're the church, what exactly do we think we're splitting? Worth thinking about. (Found through Jordon from whom all good links flow)

From The Sun Times:

If it does nothing else, Gibson's film will break the tradition of turning Jesus and his disciples into neat, clean, well-barbered middle-class businessmen. They were poor men in a poor land...

I myself am no longer religious in the sense that a long-ago altar boy thought he should be, but I can respond to the power of belief whether I agree or not, and when I find it in a film, I must respect it.

Ebert also calls the film the most violent he's ever seen. A summary of reviews, along with links, can be found at Metacritic (which called it The Passion of Mel Gibson on its homepage). It's fair to say that the reviews are polarized.

It's probably a good idea not to lose your wallet and Pocket PC the week before you're leaving the country for two weeks.

Update: I was sitting in small group tonight when it hit me where my wallet/Pocket PC was. It fell into one of my skates. It's weird sitting there after days of looking for it and knowing that when you get home, that's where it's going to be. Sure enough, it was there.

All my credit cards are cancelled, and new ones on the way, but it's sure good to have the wallet back.

A while ago I asked what I called the million dollar question:

From The Shaping of Things to Come:

Right up front we want to confess our belief that the planting of new, culturally diverse, missional communities is the best way forward for the church that views itself in a missional context. The challenging context in which we live in the West requires that we adopt a fully missional stance. While some established churches can be revitalized, success seems to be rare from our experience and perspective. We believe that the strategic focus must now shift from revitalization to mission, i.e. from a focus on the "insiders" to the "outsiders"; and in so doing we believe the church will rediscover its true nature and purpose. Perhaps an established church can plant a missional congregation within its broader church structures. Others might sponsor and support the planting of new congregations on their doorstep to reach those not interested in the conventional church. But it does seem to us that the real hope lies with those courageous leaders who will foster the development of alternative, experimental, new communites of faith.

If Frost and Hirsch are right, where does that leave many of us who are currently trying to revitalize established churches?

Last night, one of the authors (Alan Hirsch) left a comment which is too good to leave there:

I stumbled upon this discussion so I thought I'd post a comment. What we are saying is not that revitalisation is not a valid option, but that it is not neccesarily the STRATEGIC one in this time in which we live. The vast majority of the churches total resource (dollars, buildings, training, denominational services, etc. are dedicated to doing precicely revitalization work. We wrote the book to validate the missing strategy...namely that of new faith communities built squarely on missional grounds. The question I want to ask is, why do people in existing churches get so upset if someone says something that seems to point in another direction? Existing churches have most of the resource already?! Why I think it is important to tip the balance in favour of the new is because it it is the new experiments that the church might well find models for the future revitalisation of the church.

Lots of wisdom here. Not one or the other, but once again the existing church can champion the new instead of being threatened by it. Good stuff.

If you try to make little tweaks in the way you do church, it's probably never going to get where you want it. If you completely start over, you're more likely to. By freaking people out once, you get a lot farther than doing the same thing on a smaller scale 25 times. (Brian McLaren)

It looks like the situation at TallSkinnyKiwi is moving in the right direction. Early on, LT and I were chatting and wondering why Andrew hadn't responded. LT suggested, "Maybe he has a life," which turned out to be true. He was "internet-off-line but family-on-line".

Some interesting thoughts on our assumptions made about Andrew's non-response here.

I've been through a lot of changes lately. I wish I knew where all of this was going, but I don't. But I feel better about things today than I did a while ago.

Not so long ago, I was wondering if God was leading me away from the established church to something else. I wasn't sure, and I sure wasn't going to jump until I heard God's call pretty clearly. I think I've moved to someone who loves the new forms of church, while not completely abandoning the old. LT expresses some of the reasons better than I could. The issue isn't (always) structure. The issue is following Jesus.

Who knows where all of this will lead?

You may have heard of the controversy about whether Dr. Atkins was overweight or not at the time of his death. His widow, Veronica Atkins, has responded to the pro-vegetarian physicians' group with this:

They're like the Taliban. They're the vegetarian Taliban.

In my experience, that's the worst kind. Lousy Vegetarian Taliban.

One of the things I've had to learn the hard way is to not edit other people when they're upset. I want to tell them that they're not expressing themselves appropriately or to make suggestions, when sometimes all I should do is listen.

Then, later, when they truly feel that they've been heard, we can talk about what was expressed. Sometimes this is soon after. Sometimes it takes days. There have sometimes been serious issues that needed to be addressed, but the time to do this is often not in the heat of the discussion.

I've been thinking about this over the past few days. The hurt that people express is real, even if some of us don't completely understand it and even if it's expressed harshly. Eventually we always get to the point when we can talk about it, but I always have to remind myself - listen first, refuse to edit others, even when they're angry. Especially when they're angry.

A comment from Signposts:

I have noticed a trend within the egalitarian (and postmodern/ec) group that when they can't keep up with quality reponses and begin to lose ground they resort to the "tone" or "mean spiritness" of the messenger argument.

He's essentially stating that when someone (like me) addresses the tone of the debate, it's because I'm out-argued and can't think of a good response.

I admit to almost doing the Howard Dean scream when I read this. A negative tone doesn't mean your argument is wrong, but surely we can agree that tone is important in how we communicate? Can't we?

Update: Jacob clarifies:

Surely we have to conduct ourselves in ways consistent with Christian behavior 100% of our time - whether we're in church or in a debate. I'm not suggesting otherwise.

What I am commenting on is the tendency for some to mistakenly attack ones "tone", "mean spiritness", "anger", etc when all the person is doing is agressively debating, demanding answers, calling people on errors and inconsistencies, and being frank and untactful. Remember intensity doesn't necessarily equate to anger.

BTW, email and bulletin board postings are about the hardest medium in evaluating tone. You better be absolutely sure before you make your accusation or else you're just as guilty.

Okay, I can agree with him here a bit more. The first comment seemed to say that challenging the tone is a debating strategy to cover the fact that you're losing. Nothing could be further from the truth. The second comment acknowledges that it's not easy to read/moderate tone through this type of discussion.

I've been reading (and participating) in some heated threads this week. Signposts seems to have quite a few of them going on everything from theology to politics. They also had one on women in ministry, which is also a hot topic right now at Tall Skinny Kiwi. And we're probably going to start hearing about this article on post-evangelicals.

I don't know what to think. I love discussions, and I've learned a lot through ones like these. Honestly, the only thing I don't like is that some just seem to be waiting for a fight.

Update: LT and Jordon have posted some thoughts on the Andrew Jones thread, with some insights that should apply to all comment debates.

How to disagree with others without destroying relationships, as found in The NIV Application Commentary - Genesis (p.189):

1. We must be willing to preserve a godly perspective on the issue and accord Christian respect to those we disagree with, refusing to belittle, degrade, accuse, or insult them. Ad hominem arguments and other varieties of "negative campaigning" should be set aside.

2. We must not allow our differences of opinion to overshadow and disrupt the effectiveness of ministry and our Christian witness.

3. We must decry the arrogance that accompanies a feeling of self-righteousness and portrays others as somehow less godly because of the position they hold.

I couldn't have said it any better. I wish this was common knowledge and practice but it just isn't.

HOUSTON, TX – When youth group members Tyler Greer and Tiffany Hudson sang a duet of "Your Love Is Amazing" during the offering on February 8, they unintentionally launched South Houston Community Church into bitter controversy.

It's a little late, since LT has now been in our house since Thursday, but I've finally got around to doing a background check on him. What I found isn't pretty. Here's all about LT from Googlism:

LT is the sign that your family's fortune is being declined

LT is high

LT is a backdoor trojan

LT is easy to configure and easy to use

LT is the armed wing of the pakistan

LT is designed and optimized to provide workstation and server class performance and features to powerful pc systems

LT is a very colourful 2u unit with a purple panel and yellow control buttons

And much more.

We had a good time with Mr. Campea at Gretzky's yesterday. Gretzky's was okay, but a lot more expensive than I remember. LT had an Alberta steak. I figure if you come all the way to Ontario from Saskatchewan that you should branch out and try something different than Alberta steak. LT said it was okay, but he's had better. Just don't ask him how much his baked potato cost.

One of the topics we discussed was how hard it is to pastor within an established church while one questions a lot about the established church. It can be done, especially when the church is willing to ask questions. Richview has been great at allowing people to ask what it means to follow Jesus, even when the answers aren't necessarily safe.

Now that I've met John, I can put a voice to all that I've read from him.

I'd share more incriminating stuff about John and LT, but then they'd probably do the same for me.

A photo of LT in his rented Lincoln Navigator is still to come.

It's been lots of fun hanging around LT. On Friday morning, we hopped in the car and began the long journey to visit Bene. I admit to being a little nervous. It's one thing to know someone online, but it's another thing to spend the day together.

I shouldn't have worried. It was a hoot. I think I've made some new friends! Lots to talk about. We all had a great time, including Charlene and the kids. In fact, it was one of the funnest days we've had in a long time.

Bene, thanks so much for making us feel so welcome. It's a day we won't forget any time soon. Everything was absolutely perfect.

LT had fun too, as you can tell from the pictures. To the left is the promised photo of LT kissing Bene. One of us thought it would be fun to have a picture of LT and our waitress, who was also the manager, and the evidence is to the right. Nobody's looking that unhappy.

Two more days of LT. Tonight we visit with John Campea. It's going to be sad to see LT leave on Tuesday.

I've learned that a good way to freak someone out is to tell them that you're having somebody stay at your house that you met on the Internet. It gets even better when you tell them that you're also traveling to meet a mysterious blogger whose identity is shrouded in secrecy, at a secure, undisclosed location (right near Dick Cheney). I think we have to drive there blindfolded or something.

As I've told people this week, I don't see how this whole thing can possibly go wrong.

You read a lot about hospitality in the New Testament. We usually think of it as having someone from the church over. Actually, it was more about having strangers over, and sharing your place with them. All you knew about them was that they were followers of Christ. Then you have the wild concept that some of these strangers just might turn out to be angels...

Well, enough of that. It's just kind of cool to have someone over and to practice the art of hospitality. As I said, how could it possibly go wrong?

P.S. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow, call the police. (I'm joking!)

From the Scotsman:

A SNORKELER attacked by a shark off Australia’s east coast swam to shore with the predator still gripping his leg and then drove to a lifesavers’ club to have it removed.

Luke Tresoglavic, 22, was snorkelling on a reef about 330 yards off Caves Beach, 75 miles north of Sydney, Australia, when a wobbegong shark bit him just below the kneecap and held on.

"I just realised I had to swim in like that, hanging on to it," Mr Tresoglavic said yesterday.

"Once I got to shore, a couple of people tried to help me, but I could not remove it. It was stuck there, so I got up into my car and drove to the clubhouse, and luckily the guys down there had a clue what to do."

Those Australians are a tough lot.

I'm getting ready for my sermon on Sunday, and came across this great quote once again:

Remember, Sabbath is a gift to us from God. Accept his invitation. You can relax in his presence because he is safe to share your life with. More than anything else, he just wants the time to be with you. Unfettered and unbusy time to enjoy you, to show you his love. Time to make you a champion at living. (Reggie McNeal, A Work of Heart)

I haven't taught on the Sabbath in a long time. I'm looking forward to it.

The Mission-Shaped Church is out, and was front-page news in the National Post yesterday. Jonny Baker writes:

The reports argues that a 'mixed economy church' is what is needed in the new context we find ourselves in. One size no longer fits all. Parish churches and traditional models of ministry and church are to be encouraged and developed but alongside these we need a whole set of 'fresh expressions' of church. Examples talked about include youth congregations, network church, alternative worship, base communities, cell church, new monastic orders, traditional church plants, cafe church, multiple and midweek congregations, church in school and so on...

Sounds great. I'm ordering my copy today.

So what's the big deal with Celine Dion's mike? That happens all the time in most churches. Is this thing on? Tap tap tap. Confusion and embarrassing silence. Then it works, and one-two-three, should be here any second now - yup, there's the feedback. I felt right at home.

They implemented a five-minute delay in broadcasting the Grammys, which evidently came in handy with Aguilera's dress. Here in Canada, they've just put hockey commentator Don Cherry on a seven-second delay in case he gets out of line. I'm wondering how many churches are looking into a time delay with their pastor's sermons.

Christine Aguilera was a bit of a disappointment. She's got talent, and really doesn't need to try popping out of her dress to get attention. Also didn't like Sting's dress. Really enjoyed White Stripes, though.

Fascinating discussion over at Rachel's site. Rachel asked some excellent questions about a tract she received in the mail. Once the church started commenting, things got out of control. I can't read the thread of posts without wincing a lot.

I feel for these guys. They are well motivated, working hard, and you can sense their commitment. It's hard not to feel bad that they've been hurt in this discussion. But the questions asked were more than fair.

I don't want to replicate the debate here, so please don't comment pro or against either side. It did strike me, though, that this was the first real clash I've seen between the traditional form of church and whatever it is that you call this new thing. We will be seeing more of these clashes in the future. Probably the hardest thing to realize is that asking questions is not a personal attack, and if you have good answers you don't need to fear the questions.

I have this dream that the traditional forms of church will rise up and bless some of the newer forms. Just a dream. It didn't happen here.

This picture never fails to make me smile. News reports say:

The 83-year-old pontiff seemed to approve, waving his hand after each dancer completed a move, then applauding for the entire group. He watched the performance from a raised throne.

"For this creative hard work I bless you from my heart," he said.

Good comment from Catch.com:

I'm not surprised that the Pope enjoyed this.

I'm not surprised that somebody, somewhere said "Hey I know, let's breakdance for the Pope."

What does suprise me is that anybody who would say such a thing could actually follow through and know the people who could make it really happen.

My Granddad died ten years ago today. I try to remember the anniversary every year. So many things about that day are frozen in my mind. It's the first time that I ever saw someone die.

Granddad explains some of who I am. He was stubborn, quirky, and always into trouble (carefully chosen trouble). He had a great sense of humor and he loved reading and he loved God. You wouldn't want him in your church, but you would want him on your side. Underneath it all, he had a tender heart.

When he got out of hospital one time, the doctor severely restricted his diet. Within minutes of arriving at home, he snuck out for a meal at KFC. He's the only person I know who had his hand run over by a bus. He was old fashioned, chauvinist, and sometimes bigoted, yet was able to overcome his biases later in life.

Vega driver, Watkins rep, pastor's nightmare, compulsive walker, that's Granddad. I'd give anything to see him again. And one day I will.

Become a minister now
Minister Charles Simpson has the power to make you a LEGALLY ORDAINED MINISTER within 48 hours!

BE ORDAINED NOW!

As a minister, you will be authorized to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church!

WEDDINGS
MARRY your BROTHER, SISTER, or your BEST FRIEND!
Don't settle for being the BEST MAN OR BRIDES' MAID
Most states require that you register your certificate (THAT WE SEND YOU) with the state prior to conducting the ceremony.

FUNERALS
A very hard time for you and your family
Don't settle for a minister you don't know!
Most states require that you register your certificate (THAT WE SEND YOU) with the state prior to conducting the ceremony.

BAPTISMS
You can say "WELCOME TO THE WORLD! I AM YOUR MINISTER AND YOUR UNCLE!"
What a special way to welcome a child of God.

FORGIVENESS OF SINS
The Catholic Church has practiced the forgiveness of sins for centuries
**Forgiveness of Sins is granted to all who ask in sincerity and willingness to change for the better!

VISIT CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES
Since you will be a Certified Minister, you can visit others in need!
Preach the Word of God to those who have strayed from the flock

WANT TO START YOUR OWN CHURCH??
After your LEGAL ORDINATION, you may start your own congregation!

At this point you must be wondering how much the Certificate costs. Right? Well, let's talk about how much the program is worth. Considering the value of becoming a CERTIFIED MINISTER I'd say the program is easily worth $100. Wouldn't you agree? However, it won't cost that much. Not even close! My goal is to make this life changing program affordable so average folks can benefit from the power of it.

Since I know how much you want to help others, you're going to receive your Minister Certification for under $100.00... Not even $50.00... You are going to receive the entire life-changing course for only $29.95.

For only $29.95 you will receive:
1. 8-inch by 10-inch certificate in color, with gold seal
(Certificate professionally printed by an ink press)
2. Proof of Minister Certification in your name
3. Shipping is free

I feel kind of ripped off that I never said "WELCOME TO THE WORLD! I AM YOUR MINISTER AND YOUR UNCLE!" to any of my nieces or nephews.
