I’ve posted articles in my blogs about new monasticism in the past, for example at Notes from underground: Urban monasticism and Notes from underground: Abandoned places of empire. You can find others by typing “new monasticism” in the search box of this blog or my other one.
Most of them haven’t attracted any relevant comments, and [...]
When trying to discover what the “emerging church” movement was about, I got the opportunity to hear one of the fundis on it, Brian McLaren, speak in Pretoria. As I’ve noted in this blog and elsewhere, most of what he said was pretty familiar, and most Orthodox Christians would find little to disagree with in [...]
Some interesting ideas on this topic here, which may link up with something I wrote earlier in Notes from underground: Emerging church and Orthodoxy revisited.
Not much more to say about it at the moment, just wanted to link the two ideas that provide a couple of models, or analogies for Orthodox ecclesiology.

But even in the midst of the destruction, there were signs of hope, as some, at least, pursued [...]
In my other blog Notes from underground: The ikon in an age of neo-tribalism I recently wrote about Orthodoxy and Western culture, and now Father Stephen has posted on his blog about the approach of Orthodoxy to Western culture in Reflections on Florovsky.
As Fr Stephen points out, “Florovsky was both a Russian and a true [...]
A few days ago I noted in my other blog Notes from underground: Brian McLaren to speak in Pretoria that a well-known emerging church fundi was to speak in Pretoria next month, and asked if anyone who knew him or knew of him could recommend going to hear him.
Most of those who commented said it [...]
