\nWhat is “postmodern?” Seems like I have been asked that for years and come up with different answers at different times. One way of looking at postmodern faith is to think of it as “open source.” Go back to the Early Church and it was many people (usually not the apostle types) who went out in the journey of life and faith and as they came together gave shape to the power and story of Jesus. The human tendency is to want faith to be certain and unquestioned and you get that from many of the hard core Evangelical types and they don’t often tolerate disagreement. But a great “in-house” example of open source faith is my friend John Armstrong and Act3 Ministries, a unique bridging ministry between evangelicals, mainliners, and Roman Catholic\/Orthodox. Not many people could pull off having an Orthodox priest, Baptist pastor, and a few emergent church folks all sitting at the same table and feeling good about what God is doing with it. John, like any open source faith pioneer, has taken his hits but I think if you look at the model that got me thinking for this podcast, JamGlue, an collaborative music\/mixing site, it reflects the postmodern faith journey and life. We come together, share the “tracks” of our lives, and as they are laid out there, the Divine mixing takes place in relationships and growth that was never planned and completely unexpected. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
