Top Ten Posts from the Rally to Restore Unity

If you like the idea of the Rally to Restore Unity, please consider writing for a book I am editing: Finding Church. The book is about the stories people have had in relation to church, and finding love, unity, and redemption through and despite the pain that church sometimes causes.

I have been participating in the Rally to Restore Unity, hosted by Rachel Held Evans. There have been so many fantastic posts (and signs), I wanted to repost links to some of them here, with a brief explanation of why I chose these as top ten posts. (If you’re curious, my post was here.)

Note: These posts are not in any particular order.

1. Greg Boyd – The Heresy of Failing to Love. Because Boyd always makes me think. Always.
2. Alan Knox – I know you’re a heretic, but what am I? – Because he is a blogging friend, and because he makes a great point from biblical backgrounds about the word “heretic.”
3. Hannah Frann – Jesus Had Long Hairs. Because I have long hairs too.
4. Jamie, the Very Worst Missionary – Ask Yourself. Because she is just plain hilarious.
5. Alise Write – There are a few people that I look for. Because she shows that unity is not about agreeing.
6. Mike – Forget World Peace: Visualize Using your Turn Signal. Because he’s right — we can make a difference in our world by looking right around us.
7. Kristin – Wait–Who is Calvin? and other potty breaks on the road to unity. Because it’s interesting that she equated John Calvin with a potty break.
8. Ed Cyzewski – A Letter to Myself. Because everyone should write a letter to their future self. I think our future selves would be shocked to hear from our past self.
9. Amanda Bee – What I learned from The Office. Because I like The Office also.
10. Frank Viola – Rethinking Christian Unity. Because he reminds us that even “Jesus Only” can become “Us only.”

Thanks for the posts everyone!
