Well, having been tagged by my former classmate Drew, its time to step up to the plate.  Of course, connecting it to the most recent Star Wars trilogy might not be the best thing, but its probably better than:

Presbymeme II: The Two Memes?
or
The Dark Presbymeme

Anyway, onto the rules & the questions:

The Rules

• In about 25 words each, answer the following five questions.
• Tag five presbyterian bloggers and send them a note to let them know they were tagged.
• Be sure to link to this original post.
• Leave a comment or send a trackback to this post so others can find you.

The Questions

1) What is your favorite faith-based hymn, song or chorus?

Either “Hold it up to the Light” by David Wilcox or “Grace” by U2.  Of course, I have been pondering the theological significance of “Mysterious Ways” by U2 a lot recently.

2) What was the context, content and/or topic of the last sermon that truly touched, convicted, inspired, challenged, comforted and/or otherwise moved you?

It would probably be a sermon preached by Rob Bell at Mars Hill several months ago that I listed to on their podcast where he talked of ways of understanding the Trinity.  To hear an emergent pastor use the term perichoretic dance was marvelous and challenging too. (Can’t find the link right now for the sermon - bugger)

3) If you could have all Presbyterians read just one of your previous posts, what would it be and why?

I think the most recent one that comes to mind was my comparison between the death of Scrabulous and the ways the church tries to relate to the world.  I think it speaks to the realities of how we are missing the deep need that people have for connection and relationship by instead focusing on the outer appearance instead of the inward work of Christ.

4) What are three PC(USA) flavored blogs you read on a regular basis?

• ChristSeeker
• Presbymergent
• The Crowded Handbasket

5) If the PC(USA) were a movie, what would it be and why?

The first one that came to mind for me is Chocolat.  I think that within the PCUSA there is great beauty, great flavor, great relationships just as there is in Vianne’s chocolate shop.  But we also look sometimes like Reynaud and living legalistic, surfacy-like lives of faith.  We do well on the outside, but when we look deeper, are the roots growing deep in relationship with God, one another, and the world?

Tagging…Um…I’ll just go with one for now (have to go to a meeting shortly - how presbyterian of me)
