Smoking to the Glory of God
What makes something a Spiritual Discipline? Can we restrict spiritual practices to just bible study and prayer, or can everything be a spiritual practice?
I've written a blog post in response to that question at Deep Church that sits within the kind of questions we'll be asking in the GML D.Min, you can read it here:

Welcome & Orientation
Welcome to the first site for the learning community centred around the Global Missional Leadership Doctor of Ministry. (You can read an overview of the GML D.Min and our hopes for it here).
But you don't have to be a student on the DMin program to take part with us. In fact we are hoping that this program will resource a much wider learning community, centred around the theme of the program, on missional leadership for reflective practitioners.
So if you want to join us at the face to face times in the countries that we will be visiting, read along with us, take part in discussions, and learn and share with us, you are very welcome.
Here are some suggestions for orientation with the site.
Photos & Videos: Take a look at these, these show the places we will meet in Europe, Africa & Asia for our face to face times with students, and people in those countries who will be part of our learning community.

Re-Imagining Vineyard Distinctives: Creating Theological Space for Biblical Engagement
If the Vineyard movement is to move into some theological space for exploration and re-imagination, I think we must be anchored in our Kingdom of God and centered-set trajectories. In terms of a passion for, and centrality of the Bible and confidence in it, my hope is that we broaden our interpretive and theological boundaries. I think one of my [...]A third space and Jesus parable
(In our discussions this week, Paul Mayers posted this parable in a comment. I couldn’t resist and have re-posted it here in full, under his name – Jason) Maybe it would seem we need to rediscover the wonder of parables, those stories that take our everyday encounters and transmutes them somehow. If we can hear them [...]Theology & Purpose of Church
I’m travelling tomorrow to Portland, Oregon, for the M.Div/MA class on ‘The Theology and Purpose of the Church’, that I get to teach twice a year at George Fox Seminary. As usual I’m looking forward to trying out my ongoing PhD research, and to meeting the students that I’ve been working with online this past term/semester. I [...]The bible is more than the story I find myself in
So I’m first up with a reflection on the nature of the bible, with regards to our new series of re-imgaining Vineyard Church distinctives . I’m not going to critique the Vineyard Churches use of the bible (a task too huge for any blog post). Rather I am going to take the idea that as a [...]Steve Lewis' travelog: Exploring missional movments around the world
Globalizing Pop Christianity
Setting out on my global journey, one of the things I fully expected to see a lot of was USAmerican/Western influences in the churches and Christian communities I was visiting. So it came as no surprise to me that Purpose Driven this, and Willow Creek that have been pretty visible in several places, as have been the worship songs (whether in English, or translated). I’ve been to a church services with a live worship band, but the pastor’s sermon on a screen – a.k.a. video venue. I’ve seen an African church website advertising it’s latest sermon series that riffs on the U.S. television show “Extreme Home Makeover.” Even some of the voices from the emerging church are pretty well known around the world. In my opinion, this is one of the things that may most hinder truly missional expressions of church in the years ahead. While it is true that the [...]Update on George Fox Seminary’s New D.Min.
I’ve blogged and tweeted several times in the past about a new Doctor of Ministry program that George Fox Evangelical Seminary is getting ready to launch, and my involvement in it. I’m still excited about that, but there has been an adjustment recently. We were hoping to get things off the ground for the inaugural cohort of the Global Missional Leadership DMin this month in Nairobi, Kenya. Unfortunately, we weren’t quite able to make some important milestone goals for that to happen, and we’ve pushed back the launch date to September of this year – and the first student meetup will now be in London. We’ll still be going to Nairobi for a cohort meeting, it’ll just be later on in the program. While it’s a little disappointing to push back the start date, I think it’s a good thing – it’ll give us the opportunity to add more students to [...]A Community-Shaped Theology
I’ve just spent the past couple of days meeting and learning from some of the best theologians I’ve ever met. Rather than hearing their grand theories and $10 theological phrases, though, I have witnessed their theology in action. As I mentioned in a previous post, while in the Dominican Republic, I’m spending time with several different people that work with la Red Del Camino network. This is a group of churches and other ministries that have been working in Latin America and the Caribbean for a number of years now – some for 15 or more. They practice a dynamic Kingdom theology that expresses the present reality of the Way of God, rather than huddling up in their buildings and homes, waiting around for Jesus to come back. For example, a church in the colonial area of Santo Domingo – just a short walk from the [...]The Questions of Caribbean Theology
Within just a couple of hours of being in Puerto Rico, I had the opportunity to sit with Professor Agustina Luvis in her office at the Seminario Evangelico de Puerto Rico. Dr. Luvis teaches a broad range of courses, including Systematic Theology, courses on Pentecostalism, Feminist Theology, and Caribbean Theology. I learned a lot in my brief time with her, and left with a lot more questions than I had gone into our meeting with – which is usually a very good sign. I asked her about some of the distinctive elements between Caribbean Theology and other Latin American theologies. She has written an article about this in the Global Dictionary of Theology. She told me that in Caribbean Theology, there is a stronger focus on the impacts of colonialism than in other Latin American theologies. When she teaches her class on this topic, she helps her students methodically deconstruct the [...]About
