Well, we’re all moved and getting settled into our new house. We’re excited about meeting our neighbors, walking the dog to one of the several dog parks in the area, frequenting Piers Park (in my opinion, the best park in the city), and generally working our way into the fabric of this eclectic and [...]

big news
No, not that news. We’re on the five-year plan, and the five years seems to keep sliding forward… =)
This exciting news is regarding our life here in Boston. We haven’t written much lately about our “lives” — jobs, home, hobbies, etc. Here’s why I think that is: With each new day, we [...]

Quincy Street
We’re having a blast in Memphis with the Holt Srs, which means we weren’t in town on Sunday to receive the Sunday Boston Globe. This Sunday’s Globe was especially significant because it began a seven-part multimedia series about the Quincy Street Missional Church of Dorchester. Our great friends, Aaron & Amy Graham, were instrumental in [...]

great weekend with the ‘rents
The folks were in town this weekend, and it was one of those weekends from which you need about 3 weekdays to recover. One of those weekends that make you think there could be no better place to be in the summertime than New England.
The weather and company were amazing all weekend. We spent [...]

lovely
It’s nice to know there are still places in our society where people from all walks of life unite (story):
In an area famous for balkanized neighborhoods and clannish mentalities, the South Bay Center on the border of Dorchester has emerged as a melting pot uniting residents of South Boston, Dorchester, the South End, and Roxbury. [...]

I think this is partly because of Christians’ tendency to create a false dichotomy between the “sacred” and the “secular.” In other [...]

our commission
We’re discovering that our commission here in Boston is not to plant churches, but to live radically as the called-out people of God, in close proximity to like-minded disciples. (and invite others into the way of Jesus, but one that we are modeling first and foremost)
What, you ask, is different about that than what we’re [...]

questions for Evangelicals; prayer
If you get a chance, go over to the Atheist Revolution blog, where several great questions have been posed for “current or former Evangelical Christians.” Vjack, the blog’s author (and an Atheist), has been a contributor on this blog, and he, myself, and others have worked in the past toward healthy “dia-blog” between Atheists [...]

gathering
Pray for us tonight. We’re having 15 people into our home!
A very random group of missional “Exiles” from all over Boston will assemble tonight to hear Taylor and me report on our observations and reflections from our visit to New York; meet and hear from Landon, who has come to Boston as a missionary [...]

pain
I’ve had a great week with my brother Mitch in town since last Sunday. We’ve gone to shows, toured museums, enjoyed 70 degree days, endured a snowy Nor’easter, and had some amazing “bro time.” (hopefully, this adequately explains my absence from blogging this week) All the while, Chrissy was in Puerto Rico [...]
