| Summary: | For about ten years (1998-2008), Kester Brewin was one of the principal instigators of the Vaux community, a vehicle for exploring radical theological thought and practice'. From these experiences and events, he wrote The Complex Christ: Signs of Emergence in the Urban Church (2004). Since then he moved on as a blogger, columnist, tedx-er, and writer. In 2016 he published Getting High: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the Dream of Flight with Vaux Publishing. Getting High is a fascinating reflection on an era dominated by the flight of technology (from the 1960s on), substituting for the eternal longing for the ultimate. But it is also a moving introspection into Brewin's own life. Being the son of a preacher man, he was getting high on evangelical ecstasy as a young adult, before he became one of the influential figures in the emerging church movement. He ended up, however, outside of what would be taken as orthodox belief.' This paper discusses Kester Brewin's piratic' thoughts on the church, based on his books, blogs, and columns. How did his theological' thinking evolve, and what does it mean for ecclesiology? |
