Here it is my first post -- After 5 years lurking, maybe I'll start saying something (or not)...
Welcome
- Hi, welcome to my former blog! My name is Ryan Bolger, and this is where I posted my thoughts on Jesus, culture, new forms of community, among other things. Come visit me at my new blog: http://www.ryanbolger.com. I still teach at Fuller Seminary in Southern California where I'm doing some writing as well. Feel free to bounce around the new or old website -- I hope it might stir your imagination -- feel free to stir mine as well by leaving some comments, preferably at the new site... Peace...

Hey, I'm excited to see you enter into the conversation. I really look forward to hearing your thoughts. Sorry I couldn't make it the Emerging Church conference at Biola. Hope it went well.

Tyler, thanks for being my first guest -- this is a big experiment for me and I really don't know what I am doing -- feel free to share your blogging insights with me...
Biola went well -- they were all very gracious hosts -- in a nutshell, much of the conversation was emerging church = new forms of worship -- I really tried to push it to the missional question. And the foundational issue was the mostly silent elephant in the room...
Cheers,
Ryan

Good to see you blogging Ryan. I'm sure we'll be running into each other much more now... I look forward to it! I hope you find blogging to be even more of a blessing than I've found it to be.
