Some Emerging Conversations About Children

Don't ask me how I found these but here are some conversations that might interest you. These are pretty recent, too.

Let me add "2 Extremes on Kids Ministry Spectrum" from Counting the Days Until Sunday

I'm not ready to post yet, but I'm thinking about all of this.

The reason I started blogging a couple of years ago when I was working on children's ministry was because I couldn't find conversations about kids in emerging churches. Apparently that's still the case and I'm not the only one. Other people are looking, too.

The very cool thing is that, under the radar, lots of you are talking about kids and faith. You're blogging about it - a more grassroots, relational than centralized approach to the conversation. Is that an accurate way to describe it?

So the conversation continues. You may agree. You may disagree. When I find conversations I'll post them for you.

[If I haven't already said this, our family has been less involved at Artisan over the last couple months. Usually we stay put while we wrestle. This time we've backed away abit. Tired, I guess. You can still find out what's happening on the Artisan Website. Good people, there.

I'm still here, still prayerfully pondering kids and faith, but I'm not directly involved in children's ministry right now.]

  1. Margie, thanks so much for posting the links that you do. I wouldn't know a third of what's out there if it wasn't for you. Sometimes Google just isn't enough.
