An Emerging Remnant

"Take a jar and put a piece of manna in it. Then place it before the lord to be kept for the generations to come" (Ex 16:33)

There are lots of references to "the remnant" in the Hebrew bible, and this is not necessarily one of them. But it's in the same ball park.

I haven't posted in nearly a year and a half here. And it's taken me weeks to find a new title for the blog that fits where my head is at now such as to allow me to post again. I think I've found it.

A "remnant" is what I feel like my religion is for me at this point. It's also a good way of referring to how my religion exists within the British culture, at least as far as I see it, in which I find myself living at the moment. The Emerging Church movement can I believe be a way of fanning the flames in which this remnant once lived, and on occasion very much still lives, in myself and in this culture.
