Lama's log

As I checked out the blogs this morning I came upon the 'deep church' stuff for the first time. I will be reading some of the books that are recommended on the sites starting with 'Remembering Our Future: Explorations in Deep Church'. From the limited amount I've read on blogs I'm not sure how 'deep church' differs from emergent church except for a desire to be taken theologically seriously. There seems to be the same emphasis on spiritual relevance and I want to question if the concern with spiritual depth and reconnection with earlier church also desires to translate into Christ centred living which will really mark out and call the church to account. I hope to find it here (there is a note of tiredness in my searching for this though).

I borrowed without permission the cartoon above from Jason Clark's blog (check out the links under emerging church). If readers have arrived at deep church way before me I would appreciate input on it, also go to Andy Goodliff's blog he has dedicated a site to 'Deep Church'.
