i recently stripped a whole load of blogs out of my newsreader. when i started blogging there weren’t too many to follow but now it’s like holding back the tide!…

but even so occassionally a new blog comes along that grabs my attention.

churchandpomo is the latest to do so (thanks jason for the tip off). the aim of the site is

to bring
postmodern theory and contemporary theology into conversation with concrete
faith and practice of the church. The
posts and articles at churchandpomo.org will, from different
angles and with different questions, undertake to answer questions such as:
What does postmodern theory have to say about the shape of the church? How should concrete, in-the-pew and
on-the-ground religious practices be impacted by postmodernism? What should the church look like in
postmodernity? And how might the church
understand and acts within contemporary society (politically, economically,
symbolically, tangibly).

jamie smith whose book i blogged about is one of the people behind the blog. his book is part of a series on church and postmodern culture which has some very interesting looking titles forthcoming (e.g. caputo: what would jesus deconstruct). they are calling it a slog (slow blog) which i kind of liked. and in august will be introducing a series of engagements with jamie’s book. then in september are setting up a dialogue with pete rollins around how (not) to speak of god . i’m looking forward to that. i actually love jamie and pete’s books even though they have different takes on how to respond to postmodernism.

so a blog with a lot of content by the looks of it – if that’s your thing sign up to the feed or join in the conversation. i have linked, subscribed and all that…
