Due to the kindness of my good friend Garth Williams, I had the privilege of spending an hour’s car ride with author and emerging church thinker Brian McLaren (for those who don’t know him).
He’s going to be joining us at St. Stephen’s University on Wednesday of this week for a chapel, taking time out from a conference he is doing for the Atlantic Baptists in our sister town of St. Andrews.
It’s been a privileged time, and very invigorating on many levels. I’m hoping a great friendship can begin between SSU and Brian, as well as with the Institute Of Contemporary & Emerging Worship Studies.
Divine appointments are a beautiful thing, and Brian’s clarity when it comes to articulating the landscape in which we live is lucid and freeing to those who listen. I’m very grateful for this time.

EVERYONE is coming to St. Stephen’s! sigh At least we still have Anne.
Pretty cool Dan, get someone to dvr it for the rest of us, eh?
I’ll do me best. At the very least, there’ll be a podcast!
That is awesome. I really appreciate Brian’s insights and heart.
Yes. It will be a rich time.
if you can spare some time away from brian (who I wanted to come see, but don’t think I’ll make it in time…) I’m stopping in the steve before I leave for the airport for africa tomorrow. I’ll be there late afternoon-ish. it’d be great to see you!
Come by Jen, and we’ll see. It would be good to see you before Mozambique.
PEI Brian (above), you guys still DO have Anne of Green Gables over there in Prince Edward Island, do you not? I head she may have moved her mystique to Tokyo. Seems all the visitors from there have been giving her bribes under the table to relocate.
Dan, we allow Anne to visit other places as long as she’s home with tourists in tow from May to November. Do you want to bring Brian over to visit her?
freakish thought, mr. metz.
