Scott Berkhimer of Theopraxis and MereMission is in suburban Philadelphia. He has written a series of posts on "A Theology of the Suburbs." I've been enjoying his thoughts and felt I should provide a central location for these links here. He offers no specific titles, so I will offer a very brief identifier for each post.
Part 1: Pursuit of Happiness; Part 2: Choice & Imagination;
Part 3: Economic Influence; Part 4: Rootlessness;
Summary: Restatement; Part 5: Race & Ethos 1;
Part 6: Race & Ethos 2; Part 7: Imago Dei & Sabbath Keeping;
Part 8: Shaping Imaginations; Part 9: Simplicity & Generosity
Part 10: Hospitality & Eucharist; Part 11: Suburbs & Gospel
Steve,
Scott is a great young man. He was in one of our ETREK courses at Biblical Seminary. Glad you linked to his thoughts and put them in this one location.

Thank you, thank you for this link. I never would have found this without your post.
Come to think of it, I never would have found your blog without Pete Williamson at Oikos Fellowship in Bellingham, WA.

Pete is the source of everything good in the world. :)

I wish I had come across these posts earlier - it would have been very helpful for me to interact with in my suburban research! I haven't worked through all of them yet, but I like what I see here. Good stuff. Thanks for thinking through these issues.
