Under The Masks They Are Still Clowns

Doug Pagitt, trombone abuser over at dougpagitt.com, revisits the anti-Plato schtick that bombed on his traveling revival. Make of it what you will. If you were born after 2005 you will find Pagitt very informative; if you have even a cursory knowledge of philosophy, you will find Pagitt hilarious.

You can also read Shelley Pagitt's views on yoga and the church. These you will find hilarious whether you know anything about yoga or not. Doug and Shelley are a matched set.

But what provoked all this emergent flossfy was Doug's picture in a haystack. It is one of many posters you can find here.

This is a collection of motivational posters which capture the emergent movement in a thoroughly appropriate way. These posters are not only superior to any of the "art" produced in the emergent movement, they accurately identify the movement's "vibe".

The arsonists over at teampyro have provided your Sunday School with some great material. Don't let it go to waste.

Personal favorites are Art, Church History, Comedy, Community, Cruelty, Generous Orthodoxy, Heaven, Humility, Justification, Liberality, Missional, Reimagining, Spirituality, Tradition, and Unity.

Though today is Eliot's birthday, perhaps Kipling's "God's of the Copybook Headings" is the best response to Pagitt's drivel.

Well, I take your point, but I think the best response to Pagitt is uproarious, rolling on the floor, pounding the carpet laughter.
