Homosexuality and Christian Community: Pt 2

December 24, 2004

Just a quick note in regards to Mike Todd’s comment today on my blog (and his fleshing it out on his blog). One of the biggest problem I have with people who are so sure that their traditional stance on this issue is right…is that many times (and this is not *always* the case) they [...]

Homosexuality and Christian Community: Pt 1

December 23, 2004

Over the break, in addition to learning Hebrew, reading Old Testament and writing my three big papers, I’ve been reading Seow’s Homosexuality and Christian Community. It’s a collection of 13 essays by past and current Princeton Seminary professors, and it’s fabulous. Over the course of the 13 essays, you’ll most likely run across almost every [...]

God is still speaking…

December 5, 2004

There has already been some buzz about the new United Church of Christ campaign called Still Speaking, and particularly the commercial which most of you have probably already heard about (if you haven’t, go to the Still Speaking site to see it). I think this is great for the UCC; it’s a pretty sweet commercial [...]

Thinking about Sex: Pt 4

November 8, 2004

I just received an email from another seminarian who was at the conference, and thought I’d put up a couple links he sent me and a few others I found as I was looking around some more:
Religious Institute on Sexual Morality, Justice and Healing: Some good resources, as well as an article by Debra Haffner [...]

Thinking about Sex: Pt 3

November 7, 2004

Susan Andrews, former moderator of the PCUSA preached on Eros & Ethics Friday evening, using the Song of Songs as one of her primary texts. She shared her frustration, as a seminary student, with the sex curriculum that was available, specifically mentioning a Unitarian curriculum that was so factual and accurate (& even included a [...]

Thinking about Sex: Pt 2

November 6, 2004

Since I forked over $9.99 for this T-Mobile HotSpot internet access at Starbucks (when will they frickin’ get free WiFi?!), I felt the need to get over here and use it again before we left Chicago. The conference has continued to go well, and the speakers yesterday and this morning have been pretty interesting. Last [...]

Thinking about Sex: Pt 1

November 5, 2004

I’m here in Chicago sitting in Starbucks, just getting in a quick post before I head back to Fourth Presbyterian Church to meet my small group. We arrived here yesterday around 1pm, got settled and then attended the opening session where we watched a screening of a film/documentary called Turning Points. It was a film [...]

“It’s hard work…work…it’s…it’s hard.”

October 6, 2004

[To borrow a phrase from the SNL Debate sketch from last Saturday]
One thing that I wanted to make sure when I came to Princeton was that my blog stayed active. Sorry. And I promised more theological posts to come. Sorry. As I sat in my Paradigms and Progress in Theology course today and listened to [...]

Created for Companionship and Sexual Union

September 23, 2004

OT101 is turning out to be a great class. I’m getting the ‘other side’ of what I learned at Whitworth. I’m a bit surprised (as are many others) that I learned nothing about the documentary hypothesis at Whitworth (in all of its J, D, E & P glory). Our text, Collins’ Introduction to the Hebrew [...]

Celebrate the Family!

July 25, 2004

Went to the church I grew up in to worship today, Centralia First Church of the Nazarene. It was fun to meet our new pastor, Rick Ryding and see some old friends, including 88-yr old Ed Haldy who was the one man you could always rely on for a “Hallelujah!” or “AMEN!” during the service. [...]
