I have a lot going through my mind these days. It is a good feeling, though overwhelming I do say.
- Got back from Cornerstone a few days ago. Great time, great music (Timbre, The Soil and the Sun, Quiet Science, Photoside Cafe, to name a few bands I discovered). Good to get away from the internet. Even though I was posting on twitter, I wasn’t checking it, and had my phone off most of the time.
- I learned a lot about Emergence Christianity, as one would put it. Not exclusively Emergence Christianity, but Emergence Theory in general. The idea that the world of emerging, and Christianity is only a small part of it. I am sure more posts are to come in the future on the subject.
- A few great discussions on GLBT issues. Still confused as hell.
- I picked up a book in Protestantism in America again (started reading it a few months ago, but stopped). I just read a bit about how Evangelicalism got to where it is today.
- Going to Milwaukee next week to see some Capernwray friends. Mostly excited.
- Praying a lot about doing this two year Vineyard Leadership Institute. I’m not sure if sticking myself in the middle of Vineyard schooling is a good option, when I have no real loyalty to the Vineyard itself.
- Lance is married.
- A pig just flew by my window.
- I’m not a big fan of Hedo anyways, he is probably reached the peak of his career, and we already have 18 wing players.
- Romans
- Job interview at Black Sheep Coffee this week.
- The relationship between ecological law and theological law is on my mind. I’ll explain later, maybe even today.
That is some of the stuff on my mind.
Get at me.
Sounds good. You know how we had that conversation about St. Francis of Assisi and Luther, I found an interesting comment from Fr. Louis Bouyer, a Lutheran pastor who became a Catholic priest. He says:
“The conclusion of all this is undoubtedly that Protestants belong to the Catholic Church by what is best in them, and that what is most rightfully dear to them can only flourish in a certain and lasting way in her bosom, while the split between Orthodoxy and Catholicism is a misunderstanding, an absurd and scandalous nonsense.
But this is only half the truth. We must now add all the things that the Catholic Church has lost by the loss of the Orthodox and the Protestants”
It’s a bit mean but it kind of says what you were saying, that we would all be better if we just stuck together.
