Being Human
In the middle of January my friend Jason Clark came through town and joined a group of people from Jacob's Well in a discussion/midrash over Lesslie Newbigin's book, Proper Confidence. We had a great discussion, reminiscent of last May when the Emergent Coordinating Group was in Kansas City for a planning meeting. We took a couple of days and went to Conception Abbey to plan, recreate, and actually "do" some theology. Jason (above, with Father Adam Ryan) presented a paper he had been working on the subject of developing a doctrine of creation.
Our Newbigin discussion eventually turned towards this topic (creation theology - not creation vs. evolution, but more an understanding of what it means to be human) and Jason took some time to describe where he is in his exploration. Well, I found out a couple of days ago that he has written a paper, a continuation and refinement of what he presented in May. This paper is part of his doctoral program that I mentioned in an entry on January 20. He sent it to Brooke - seems like my friend been holding out on me. Anyway, it is now in my possession and Jason has given me permission to post for anyone who wants to download it. It is a Word document, around 40 pages. It has all the markings of an academic paper because that is what it is. Enjoy.
Thanks Tim!! I am so glad you are blogging again because you always share the best resources!

Thanks James...it's good to be at it again. My goal for blogging is three times at week - if more, great. I loved Jason's recent post though, "The Top Ten Rules of Blogging," especially the one about not apologizing for light blogging. Hope you all are well.
