Removing the Angst
June 18, 2011 3 Comments
As you can tell, I’ve taken a bit of time away from the blogoshphere. I have also lessened the amount of time I’ve been tweeting. So, sorry about that. Just needed a break during all of this change I’ve been experiencing lately.
So, I am looking for a church in Minneapolis/St. Paul. I am tired of post-Evangelical angsty churches, where everything is PC and a lot of it is all talk but no action. I am looking for a church that:
a. Cares about real, lasting community and relationships
b. Cares deeply about Eucharist and the mystery that it is
c. Is full of people that try their best to love beyond the hurts that have been done to them: whether by the Church, family, or friends
d. Cares about the Bible, philosophy and theology, but is not bound by indoctrination and legalism
So, if anyone out there has a suggestion, drop me a comment!
i have always loved greg boyd – have NO idea what his church is like – but his theology and courage would make me give it a try. totally hear you on the “lots of talk, no action” front – very frustrating.
What I’ve heard about Mercy Seat suggests it might be up your alley.
Awaken Community. We meet in the Joke Joint Comedy Club. Honesty, genuine community, hurting but transforming people, philosophy- of course.

I’m gone for the summer, will be back in August, but their are amazing people there. FInd Micah or Tof and tell them that Laine Gebhardt reads your blog. You’ll get some good philosophy/theology talks from them.
