A year ago, I invited guest bloggers to Pomomusings and asked them to reflect on “the Kingdom of God.” It was a really wonderful series and I think it produced some fruitful conversations. Starting April 1st, and continuing throughout April and May, we’ll be focusing on issues relating to plurality and pluralism. The guest blogger series will be called “Plurality 2.0.”
I think issues of pluralism, ecumenism, the exclusivity/inclusivity of Christ and everything else that could fall under the broad category of plurality are certainly divisive issues today. For many, words like pluralism have very negative connotations – it’s something that only pansy, milquetoast Christians believe in. For others, pluralism is simply the air we breathe and we just need to accept it. But perhaps there are other different ways to (re)think issues like these. I’m hoping that our guest bloggers will be able to help us think about plurality in a new way: Plurality 2.0.
We are going to have a very exciting lineup of authors. For the full list of guest authors and bloggers, you can find the schedule here. Stay tuned for some really thought-provoking posts and conversation. If you don’t already subscribe to my RSS feed, you’ll want to now!
Awesome. This should be fun. Glad Philip Clayton is going to do it.
It’s actually spelled milquetoast.
I hope we’ll lend our ears to Lesslie Newbegin – practioner, theologian and advocate of ecumenism. For a look at his landmark missional ecclesiology, check this out: http://duodigest.blogspot.com/2008/01/that-world-may-know-newbigins.html
