Brother from another planet?
Earlier this week, before heading off to preach at an MLK memorial service, Andre at Mosaic Life (a wonderful blog I've just discovered and added to the blogroll) posted a refreshing perspective on postmodernism/emerging Christianity's lily-white face:

I'm growing concerned about the emerging (postmodern) church. As I am engaging and observing conversations with my brothers and sisters in christ who embrace the values of the emerging church i feel that though i am seen as a brother our worlds don't connect. it's as if i were from another planet.

in a world in which real social injustices remain, and racial diversity is on the increase, i rarely hear racial reconcilaition and poverty discussed in the conversations of much of the emerging church community.

how do the voices of people of color and people in poverty get heard in the emerging church?

the leadership of the emerging church movement is looking very much like the leadership of the church of modernity. white and male

where are the brothers and sisters of color?

Hmmm. Maybe a repost of this would be appropriate. I posted it earlier this week on TheOoze Blog and it elicited exacly one comment (and from a rather befuddled reader). But that's one comment more than the satire elicited from readers of my blog. (Props, once again, to Knightopia for the link.)
