A community that had love

October 23rd, 2011

It's been a week now since our dear Neighbors Abbey "officially" ended. Kiera and I were part of this faith community for the last couple of years, and recently the circumstances of many folks involved with it made it such that it couldn't continue in the capacity that it had, and so it ended as an official church. Now, we've been through the endings of churches that we loved before.

April 18th, 2011

One of the things I love most about theology is ecclesiology, the study of the church and how it lives with God in the world.

Offending and being offended

July 8th, 2010

Last week, we were at Cornerstone Festival 2010. Most years, I write a post or two in advance of the fest, previewing shows and seminars that I'm looking forward to, but this year it just didn't happen due to a lot of craziness that I'll talk about later.

My public support for Jennifer Knapp, and some thoughts on sin

Thy Kingdom Connected

February 8th, 2010

Thanks to TheOOZE Viral Bloggers, I recently got to read Thy Kingdom Connected: What the Church Can Learn from Facebook, the Internet, and Other Networks by Dwight Friesen.

Abstinence education, pledges, and real life

February 3rd, 2010

Recently, for various reasons, there has been a good deal of talk about the merits and failures of abstinence-only sex education.

Thinking of Israel

January 31st, 2010

I've never been a person who wanted to go to Israel. I've known lots of people who wanted to go, and a good number of people - pastors and professors and such - who have been, but nothing I'd heard in the past has been at all compelling.
