Neo-Cenobitic

monasticism / Neo-Monasticism

I’m not sure if I know what the “new monasticism” is, but this weekend event sure sounds interesting:

Inhabiting the Church: New Monasticism and God’s Revolution

If nothing else, the website for this event lists two books that sound interesting: Shane Claiborne’s The Irresistible Revolution and an anthology called School(s) for Conversion: 12 Marks of a New Monasticism.

A Sign of the Apocalypse???

Christian mysticism

Spotted in the April 2 issue of Christian Retailer — a company called “Fishermen Inc.” out of Los Angeles has launched a line of nine “collectible figurines depicting Jesus in nine modern-day likenesses.”

Modern day likenesses indeed! These nine figurines depict Jesus, always sporting his fashionable crown of thorns, in these ultra-contemporary manners:

  • Playing Soccer
  • Playing Football
  • On a Skateboard
  • On a bucking bull (shown above)
  • Riding a motorcycle
  • Surfing
  • Rock climbing
  • As a homeless person holding a sign “Will work 4 food”
  • Dressed in army camouflage and holding a dove

You can visit their website and see all nine of these designs in excruciating detail. Just surf on over to www.wearefishermen.com.
