The Rise of Christian Terrorism: Fear Based Religion

August 21, 2006 Featured 3 min read

I admit that can be hard on the church from time to time, but this is in part because I believe that we have such a grave responsibility to bear peace and reconciliation to the world.  In this way I tend to enjoy people like Stanley Hauerwas, John Howard Yoder,

August 14, 2006 Featured 1 min read

My housemate Chase and I were having lunch the other day and we started talking about important books that we would use if we were going to teach Bible and Theology students.  Now granted we’re both from more of an Evangelical stream of Christianity so I recognize that some

Ceasefire Campaign – Petition to Put Pressure on Leaders

August 11, 2006 Blog Posts 1 min read

Every now and then I like to have little bits of activism promoted through my site, ones that I feel are not too weird or are doing something worthwhile. Kent, PhD student in Ethics and Mennonite, sent me a link to the Ceasefire Campaign and I think it fits the

What Are Your Favorite Quaker Books?

August 10, 2006 Featured 2 min read

I just finished reading Martin’s post about him finally finishing John Woolman’s Journal and it got me thinking about how I enjoyed Woolman’s journal so much.  Then I started thinking more about books (not something that’s all that hard to do, really.)  This reminded me to

Queries from the Gathering

August 6, 2006 Featured 1 min read

Well in short our meeting last night was wonderful, there was a group of about 13 adults, 4 children (and a few lovely mennonite-volunteers) and I think it would be safe to say we all enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot from each other.  For now I thought I would

Reflections on Doing Quaker Research

August 3, 2006 Featured 2 min read

For class we were asked to write a short reflection on our spiritual journey and how it’s led us to doing the kinds of dissertations we’re preparing for.  I thought I would post it mainly because I don’t think I’ve written much about my personal journey,

July 31, 2006 Featured 2 min read

Today we spent 8:30-5 minus 1.5 hours for lunch talking about what research is, why it’s important, what our research will entail and why we are doing it.  It wasn’t a bad day, considering how long the day was I was able to stay pretty well
