How Spiritual Are You?
Friday, 29 October 2004 10:45 A GMT-06
The cover story for this week's Time magazine is on The God Gene. Is there a gene hardwired in us that causes us to be spiritual? I haven't combed through the entire article yet, but I did take this handy-dandy quiz, "How Spiritual Are You?&

Morning Prayer
Tuesday, 26 October 2004 3:14 P GMT-06
In the same mailing about how to be a good sponsor to someone joining the church is a sheet titled "Daily Prayer Format Suggestions." Great! I'm very glad the pastors are encouraging us to pray the Daily Office. They give two versions
Getting to know you....
Tuesday, 26 October 2004 12:37 P GMT-06
Okay, Jason, do you really read this blog? Prove it! Here's your cheat sheet for the "Getting to Know You" church sponsee form (is that a word?). It arrived in the mail yesterday, and I thought I'd post it so you could think long a
Focal practicing: or, how theology is lived
Monday, 25 October 2004 4:38 P GMT-06
So, what else did you learn, Jennifer, in that freaky theology and technology class besides merging our bodies with computers is bad? Well, I learned about Albert Borgmann's theory of focal things and practices as a form of resistance to the tech

The Feed Is Coming
Saturday, 23 October 2004 2:40 P GMT-06
I thought I'd blogged about the novel Feed before, but I can't find it in my archives, so forgive me if this is redundant. But since Amy Welborn and Thomas have blogged on the VeriChip implant, I thought I'd throw in my two cents as well. I didn'
Providence
Wednesday, 20 October 2004 12:25 P GMT-06
I've realized I have a very poor understanding of Providence. I suppose you'd say I have a low view of it, in that I don't believe certain things were meant to be. And I certainly can't agree that the world is just as it should be. And yet, isn
"For Domestic Security: Atoms, Genetics, and the Impermeable Family"

That's the title of the talk that Dr. Amy Laura Hall will be giving this Thursday at DePaul University. Here's the details. This excerpt is from an interview with The Other Journal.TOJ: North American Evangelicals have heartily embraced reproduct
Friday Round-up

The Wire
Thursday, 14 October 2004 3:53 P GMT-06
So enough about theology, politics, voting and the like for today. Anybody watch The Wire? My husband has been trying to get me into the show for the past two years, or two seasons, which would be about ten years in HBO time, right? Anyway, how
[Updated] Update to the Friday Round-up
Monday, 11 October 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
Camassia has a response to Up Lummox's post on church authority that describes partly why she left her church and is looking for a new one. One of the commentators suggested she explore going to seminary or taking some theology classes somewhere.
Research on prayer
Sunday, 10 October 2004 3:08 P GMT-06
This article in the NY Times, and other things I've read about scientific studies on prayer, all completely miss one big point.It seems as if most studies are set up with those who are sick divided into two groups - those who are being prayer for and
Friday Round-Up
Thursday, 7 October 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
Check out The Epistle to the Americans by Adam and this post on church authority by Up Lummox!. This other post of his about the baby-oil greased Slip N Slide puts Princeton in the #1 position for Top Party Seminaries as far as I'm concerned. Is
My covetousness is rewarded
Wednesday, 6 October 2004 1:35 P GMT-06
Thomas's continual bragging about the free book he was offered by Blackwell Publishing, but virtuously refused, drove me to the dark depths of jealousy. However, my sin has been rewarded! What say you, that God does not reward sin? Well, explai
The Gospel According to Washington
Monday, 4 October 2004 11:59 P GMT-06
We had an awful sermon yesterday at church. The former ambassador to South Korea preached. But it was more of a civics lesson than a sermon. His talk went on and on about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other things that I forget becau
