...according to NBC's Revelations, that is. Hey, I watch it so you don't have to! Here's Thomas' take on Part One. I only saw a tiny bit of Part Two, and last night I did see most of Part Three, except for when I was making dinner. So, this n

Give us this day our daily bread

From David Albertson's essay "On 'the Gift' in Tanner's Theology" in the January issue of Modern Theology (which I just received last week!):Albertson compares Origen's thoughts on the meaning of the petition for daily bread in the Lord's p

We saw Millions this weekend, and I liked it a lot. It's by the same guy who did Trainspotting. A little British boy whose mother died recently finds a bag of money (it seems like millions to him, but it's about 250,000 pounds) and wants to give

This week my friend Bill asked me to fill in teaching the senior high youth on Sunday. What's the lesson? Wesley's General Rules and ordinances (scroll down past the 25 Articles). That's right. Do we ask our youth to join hands and sing Kum B

Okay, I want to take back something I wrote yesterday. I separated discipleship from doctrine and I don't want to do that. What does it mean to be a Christian? It means we are disciples of Jesus Christ. What does that look like? Again, the

On the way into work this morning, listening to NPR, someone was saying something about how the Vatican opposed certain "experimential" theologians and interviewed someone whose license to teach Catholic theology was taken away. They ment
Ratzinger = Pope Benedict XVI

That was fast, wasn't it?Tried to go to the Ratzinger Fan Club Blog, but couldn't - maybe just too much traffic. Anyway, one could toast the election with these if so inclined.This is from his homily yesterday:"How many winds of doctrine we

I'm twenty weeks pregnant today! Halfway done! Hooray! (Twenty weeks, guys. How's that transporter coming along??? Time is running out.)I don't know if I have that second trimester "glow." Someone at work said I did, but that wa

From Chapter One of Resurrection:Williams emphasizes that the preaching of the resurrection was to the guilty. Refuting the notion of generic Jewish guilt, he points out that Acts 4:27 speaks of "both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentil
Resurrection means "presente"

From the Archbishop Rowan William's Easter sermon last year:"But why might resurrection be such a problem? Apart from the total confusion of present and long-term future which resurrection involved for the Jew, and the untidy blurring of bounda

Oscar Romero, presente
Thursday, 7 April 2005 11:03 A GMT-06
Yesterday on WBEZ's Worldview, I heard a discussion about the Pope, liberation theology, and the impact of Archbishop Oscar Romero, already known unofficially (according to the speaker) in El Salvador as Saint Romero of the Americas. He read this l
Back to correcting my wayward father
Tuesday, 5 April 2005 10:32 A GMT-06
Now I have to get back to arguing via email with my father, who sent me a celebratory email regarding the Tar Heels' win. He lives in NC and saw the game as a Rebel-Yankee thing. (No, he wasn't born in the South and has only lived there for about

Pope John Paul II
