I was trying to explain to a friend that my pacifist ideas are compatible with my theological views, as well as the church I am involved in. I know, I know... TEC has a reputation of this and that but I enjoy my church, my dioceses, and my Bishop. Anywho... I just bought that first book you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>:PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-55687704256962774282007-05-07T23:17:00.000-04:002007-05-07T23:17:00.000-04:00Keep it up, man, maybe some of that Benedictine st...Keep it up, man, maybe some of that Benedictine stuff will stick. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-69325820154865132372007-05-07T20:12:00.000-04:002007-05-07T20:12:00.000-04:00St. Benedict makes me happy.St. Benedict makes me happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-45148317172206570832007-05-07T19:56:00.000-04:002007-05-07T19:56:00.000-04:00I think Claiborne comes on a little strong in plac...I think Claiborne comes on a little strong in places, but in many other paragraphs I find him right on the money as well as poetic. <BR/><BR/>How are you liking Bell's new book? It's not really on my ist; while I liked <I>Velvet Elvis</I> for what it was, I prefer <I>Generous Orthodoxy</I> if I'm going to recommend somebody a text for "Post-Christianity 101." <BR/><BR/>While BMac is something of an albatross for folks these days (whether they know it or not), that really was a good book that explains some basic Christian doctrines and ideas in a very helpful way. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to go over some <I>Politics of Jesus</I> as a matter of fact, but only when my "Writing about the Empire" section takes shape. Next will be Dan Kimball's new <I>They Like Jesus... But Not the Church</I>, Frost's <I>Exiles</I>, and that other guy's <I>New Friars</I>.<BR/><BR/>You should read Fitzallison's <I>Cruelty of Heresy</I> or Ramsey's <I>Gospel and the Catholic Church</I> if you're going to be an Episcopalian... ;0)Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641068117855718120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-46783922642739331422007-05-07T19:35:00.000-04:002007-05-07T19:35:00.000-04:00Wow.So, I'm re-reading Claiborne's book and finish...Wow.<BR/><BR/>So, I'm re-reading Claiborne's book and finishing the Rule today.<BR/><BR/>Seriously.<BR/><BR/>Creepy.<BR/><BR/>(Read "Sex God" and "The Politics of Jesus" and then we'll be weekly reading twins!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
