Assemblies of God Progressive Theology

I'm new to Facebook, and I've just started a new group called "Assemblies of God Progressive Theology." This group is

dedicated to reframing the theological and practical Pentecostal distinctives of the Assemblies of God for the 21st century.

If you're in Facebook, and you're interested come and join.

Assemblies of God at the Crossroads

Fearful of incurring the wrath of the Grand Lord of Biblioblogdom, I have been hesitant to overtly mention my ecclesiastical affiliation on this blog. Still, I cannot deny my true identity. I am . . . (brace yourself) . . . a Pentecostal, and . . . (gasp) . . . a member of an Assemblies of God church.

Anyway, the Assemblies of God General Council will be held August 8-11, 2007 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Recently Rev. Thomas E. Trask stepped down from his position as the General Superintendent of the denomination.* So, this year's meeting is particularly important, as we will be choosing a new General Superintendent.

The gravity of this situation has caused a few blogs to form. Both Future AG and AG Leadership Change are worth checking out if you're curious.

I write this post to express our need for prayer.** The AG needs wisdom in choosing who will fill this important position.

PS: I reserve the right to speak tongue-in-cheek. If we can't laugh about doctrinal differences, then we are taking ourselves too seriously!

A graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, I currently serve as the reference librarian at the seminary’s Goddard Library. I am interested in the study of the New Testament and Second Temple Judaism. In seminary I have concentrated my studies both on the Epistle of James and the use of the Old Testament in later Jewish and Christian literature.
