TallSkinnyKiwi (Andrew Jones): Young Pietists: Emerging in the Evangelical Covenant Church
Young Pietists is the name given to the emerging leaders in the Evangelical Covenant Church. They put out a magazine called The Narthex.
But Pietists is also the name given to the renewal movement after the reformation that added some much needed spiritual life and inner holiness. …
Woohoo! Go Young PIetists Go!

Very interesting, Michael. We’re part of that denomination, and we know a pastor, who is actually, along with his wife, coming to pastor our church. He has emergent meetings every Sunday afternoon. I’ll have to put him on to this.
But I can understand this, learning what I have about this denomination’s roots and history.
I attended a Covenant Church (City Church in Kansas City, MO) in my neighborhood for more than a year (in addition to my own church) and helped them through a discernment process after their pastor had to quit to take care of his terminally ill wife and deal with the aftermath of her death. I have several friends who attend Hillcrest Cov. Church in Overland Park, KS. I am going to a board meeting in two hours for a small urban core mission where the majority of the folks doing the work are Covenant.
There is a lot other denominations could learn from the Covenant folks.
