I view the act of eating as a religious act. One in which I feel the least number of steps between the ground and our plates is the more religious route, one in which organic food (where the essential rape of the Earth does not play a part in the ‘food cycle’) is the more [...]
Over the next four Wednesday’s (starting this upcoming Wednesday, the 22nd) I’ll be participating in and speaking (on a panel with other speakers) in the Ancient Future Emerging Jesus seminar(s). If you live in the Atlanta area please consider joining us, the event will be held at Unity North in Marietta, and promises to be [...]
As much as I (often) don’t like to, I can admit when I’m wrong. I was acting rather heady in the comments section of the previous post, betrayal, where I essentially clung to the stance “I don’t care if God told me to do it, I would never kill.” For the record, I still completely [...]
I was a bit surprised at the number of responses I got from my first post entitled “Drawing Lines,” I have a few regular commenters (all of whom I greatly appreciate and your comments influence me more than I let on), but I had quite a few different/new voices respond to me in that post. [...]
I stated a few months ago that “If our beliefs do not inform the actions of our everyday lives, they are dead.” When I wrote that post I meant the idea of our beliefs informing our actions as a good thing, but Blake twittered a link that actually leads down the other side of the [...]
I could say 2.0 here, because I have posted on this topic before, but that would be too much of a steal from Adam’s blog series, so we’ll just say “Thought’s on Pluralism” and leave it at that. It’s been a couple months shy of a year since I wrote that first post, and looking [...]
I’m kind of testing the waters here and seeing if there are any signs of interest in this before I take any steps. I’ve been part of the “emergent conversation” for about a year and a half now, and through my (very poor) networking skills I’ve managed to come across a few people who I [...]
I recently read Divinity and Diversity by Marjorie Hewitt Suchocki for the Transforming Theology Blogger Consortium, and I’ve been sitting on this for a couple weeks now. I had every intention of writing something last week, but after mulling things over in my mind, I could never find a satisfactory way of approaching the book. [...]
It seems that, often times, we find out things about ourselves not from introspection, but from listening to others views on their own lives. It so happened that by her own introspection, last night, my wife made me realize something about my religion. Mostly… that it’s dead. I don’t mean dead in the sense that [...]
Link. Yeah, this is being held in Atlanta Sept. 11 and 12, for Becky and I to go will be $130 dollars, but I think I’m going to pull together the scrath to pay for it. BTW- If anyone is attending and needs a couch to crash on (and isn’t allergic to out dogs and [...]
