Oikosthemen
Last night I discovered that The Core website has been linked by a German-language emerging church blog called "oikosthemen" which means, as far as I can tell, in English, "OK". Makes sense. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that it takes Germans 11 letters to say what English-speakers can express in 2. :-)~
Anyway... thanks to oikosthemen for the props. I would link to their site, but I imagine most of the readers of this blog don't understand German anyway. Buy you're welcome to try. Or you can read it in broken English.

I know that one of the Greek words for 'house' is 'oikos' (the root from which the name of the home store Ikea gets its name), so perhaps the german word shares a root with the Greek (or is derived from the Greek). Just a thought.
I`m sorry to come so late to this posting. I am Richard from "oikosthemen".
I can help you to lift the secret. Beloved is right. The word comes from the greek "oikos". The oikos is the household of faith, I found some information for you on the web to read more in english here: http://www.dawnministries.org/northamerica/simplechurch
The second part of the word "themen" means subjects, issues or topics.
So "oikosthemen" means: Isues (topics) about the houeshold of faith, or the church in the house (greek: ekklesia oikos.
