Spirit Garage in the NYT

Dateline Miinneapolis: And the story is about the emerging church movement. It’s fun to see some of the energy from around here make it into the print press of a stolid paper like the NYT. I have friends involved with Spirit Garage, and it’s nice to see their congregation written about. But the story is, like much that’s in the Times these days, thin on detail, too shallow for much context, and lacking any sense of the breadth and depth of the innovation that is retrieving elements of Christian tradition here. The story doesn’t even mention the Basilica, which has the one of the more energetic Catholic ministries in town.
