Hi there, I'll be meeting with jason face to face soon (like next month!). I just watched The Constant Gardener a couple of days ago. It's one of the better movies for me this year too.

not sure whether I'm still a lurker ... but I thought I'd still say hello from Malaysia! Great stuff for the incarnational practices piece!

let me just say ... I like your new blog design. And on a lighter note (after reading your link and the comments which has important observations): what if emergentsia might sound like those engage in the conversation from Asia? (that's what first came to my mind)

Re: 5 Suggestions for the Emerging Church, revisited (or: Calling for a New Pneumatology)

Sivin Kit — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 20:17:09 -0000

Good one ... and I agree especially with the warning here ...

"I tend to think that the emerging church, in our desire to be intellectually and culturally rigorous, have jettisoned too much of that messy, ignorant-seeming, Holy Spirit “stuff” that seems to be the domain of pietists and Pentecostals."

Hi DJ, it's been quite a while since we've been in touch. i just started reading the reissued version of "John Sung's Biography" by Overseas Missionary Fellowship. I was thinking "hey! we REALLY have so little biographies of Asian Christian Leaders!" I guess, after your forum ... maybe a 100 years later, there'll be more to write? :-) have fun ... and tell me more about it.

I'm so happy for the positive responses and results. And now, the work has just REALLY begun huh?

Re: surgery called off

Sivin Kit — Sun, 12 Sep 2004 19:01:54 -0000

Glad the "foot" matter is improving.

On the matter of "disclosure" I think you've raised a very important point on drawing the line ... at times, I find the temptations of being over-self-indulgent and/or just letting go ... very real in blogging. But, somehow there's this "restraint" thing tugging me, I think that's as much as being human as one who seeks to be so called "open"

I follow with interest quite a mixed reaction to Mclaren's works I've been hearing so far especially as "Emergent" stuff is getting more publicity. After reading the excerpts from "Reclaiming the center", stronger critique is directed to Stanley Grenz, any thoughts on what's going on in The USA regarding this?

Re: the emerging church question

Sivin Kit — Sun, 10 Apr 2005 02:32:42 -0000

Hi there .. I get the same question all the time ... and I usually land up with a "pause" and say .. hmmm well ... and rambling some incoherent (or trying to be coherent) thoughts :-)

For us here in Malaysia, it's very important for a start to try our best to get the church planters and pastors in conversation ... in a more reflective more rather than just projects (which we're good at)

For what is tentatively known as an emergent malaysia conversation ...I find we're having a good mix of "lay leaders" as well as "pastors" (more non-pastors actually) so, it's looks postive ...

Some of us are aware of the "pomo" lingo ... other like myself would like to explore the "post-colonial" aspect (to widen the discussion and be more contextual) but so far, it's just a bunch of people willing to listen to each other, share and see where we can go from here. :-)

thanks DJ .. I met Tim Dearborn once in Singapore during the Asian Mission Conference. I really liked his plenary session and then we were in a workshop together. he probably wouldn't remember me ... but I value his perspective.

This will be my maiden skypecast with over seas friends :-) on a more specific topic. It's a date. Sorry I can't share Malaysian fruits virtually --> http://www.marimari.com/content/malaysia/best_o... (would be a good preview, and invitation to come here for holidays!)

Re: enough with disagreements already

Sivin Kit — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 04:23:37 -0000

nice of Tim Keller to post a comment. :-) I'm wondering whether "trying to create a new space between older liberalism and older evangelicalism" necessarily means that one is disconnecting themselves from "evangelicalism"? (cf. Evangelicals like Stott carving space within mainline church contexts such as the Anglican Communion)

Perhaps the Asian American Church younger leaders may model a way forward in terms of working out disagreements?

Re: enough with disagreements already

Sivin Kit — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 10:54:07 -0000

Thanks Tim for response to my question. I thought it's really great you are taking time to respond in the comments sections. How would you see the place of the Charismatic and Pentecostal movement in this whole discussion especially in terms of "for spiritual and ecclesiastical vitality" and also "evangelical essentials ... crucial for the church maintain in order to stay in that space"? I recognize this is a broad question but I'm interested in your views on this.

Thanks DJ for organizing this. Hope I can make it after my denomination EGM where I'm serving as the chaplain. As for the word "emergent", I suppose there's nothing to be really afraid of it :-) and yet, what we wanted is to include more who would be interested in a conversation. Based on the topic, looks like I'll be listening more than contributing (maybe I might throw in some questions) let's see.
