a lived theology...
Wednesday, November 08, 2006
emergingchurch.info is well worth checking out regularly for its collection of stories, the latest of which comes from Cape Town, South Africa. Ash's story, from another part of the world, sounds very similar to the stories of many people I've encountered here in the UK. The following quote particularly stands out for me, as it resonates so closely with Pete Ward's Liquid Church..."This thing called 'church happens for me every time I get together with another Christian and we have a heart to heart, when we seek God together and when we share of our experiences and encounters with God. It may happen at a friend's home, in a local church service, walking to the store during lunch or even on a Thursday night at the Coffee Bean (quaint little restaurant in Rondebosch) - church is not limited by time or place. I call it a 'lived theology'."

I'm Malcolm Chamberlain
from Liverpool, United Kingdom
. I'm married with two young children and, in addition to Liverpool, have lived in Leicester (for the first 18 years of my life), York, Peshawar (Pakistan), Oxford and Walsall. I've been actively involved in the emerging church since 2001, as a founding member of Dream in Liverpool City, and coordinator of the Dream network. I'm currently engaged in research into emerging missional communities, and work as a parish priest and pioneer minister.
