How do you describe being an emergent baptist?

I come from a baptist background and hold to some of the same beliefs that are still meaningful to my faith journey; however, I intend to move beyond what I have known......emerging....growing toward greater health and wholeness. I believe that my on-going transformation will be enhanced in relationship to others who are not necessarily like me....different cultures, backgrounds, religions, etc.

What do you love to do?

spend time with family and friends, read, fishing, riding in the mountains, horseback riding...

What books have meant the most to you?

The Secret Message of Jesus and Everything Must Change by Brian McLaren, God and Empire by Crossan, Becoming Human by Mark Taylor, Radical Hospitality by Homan and Pratt, Spiritual Wholeness for Clergy by Hands and Fehr.......

What music best articulates your soul?

My latest love is anything by Cobalt Season. I have always loved Bob Dylan, The Eagles....

Who are the historical baptist personalities you identify with most?
