As promised, a blog on Conflicting Allegiances, specifically on William Cavanaugh's essay on academic freedom and the ecclesially based university (or EBU). The phrase "ecclesially based" is used by the writers to differentiate themselv

Almighty God, give all of us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come agai

Tuesday, 23 November 2004 10:31 P GMT-06
From The Japery: "...the larger disease of modern theology: that its practitioners believe their work uncovers something called "Truth." Whether it is a liberal, progressive, living, small-t truth or a calcified, objective, unchangin

A new Chicago area blogger! Matt at Draft Theology blogs here and here so far on Colossians Remixed. Keith, after hearing Cornel West lecture, wonders why so many seminary graduates seek Ph.Ds instead of serving a church.Father Jake links to a re
Genetics and society

My mom (Hi Mom!) sent me a link about a conference sponsored by The Center for Genetics and Society titled "The Next Four Years, the Biotech Agenda, and the Human Future: What Direction for Liberals and Progressives?"
Which one of these is not like the others?
Wednesday, 17 November 2004 11:40 A GMT-06
I saw this calendar for sale, thought cool, picked it up and flipped through it, and promptly put it down. Which one of these months has absolutely nothing to do with "peace?" And that makes this incomprehensible.To paraphrase The Princ

On Sunday morning, we learned that my husband's brother had a fire in his apartment. He wasn't hurt, thank God - even though he was asleep while it happened, he woke up and got out of there. The fire destroyed just about everything (and he had

I got roped into leading our adult Sunday school class this coming Sunday, on evangelism. I know nothing about evangelism. I have to show a video about the Igniting Ministry campaign and lead a discussion about it. I'm taking over for a friend
The Wire Part 2
Tuesday, 9 November 2004 1:38 P GMT-06
I've finished watching all of Season One of The Wire. Brilliant show. I'm also in the midst of Season Three, which is showing on TV now, and one fascinating plotline is the de facto legalization of drugs within one precinct in Baltimore.Having be
