a different perspective from alan hartung on the emerging church, politics, faith, and life
My The Idolatry of Truth post has gotten a lot of attention due to its being linked on an anti-emerging church site, Slice of Laodicea. I’ve responded both on the Slice site and on the blog here through the comments, but I felt that a response in my own voice was appropriate. Please listen to [...]
Life on the Rocks – We’re off to see the Wizard… Lost has me hooked. The article I link to above, mucho good stuff about where the show might be going. But might be is the right way to say it, as J.J. and company is doing a phenomenal job of throwing people off the [...]
Politics and religion are supposed to be the two subjects you never talk about in a social setting. My dad and I have been going round and round about the wiretaps and other activities of our president.

Lost is available on iTunes, and since I don’t have TiVo, it makes it very convenient for me if I miss an [...]
This clip is just about 30 seconds long. Please take the time to watch our President state his position on wiretapping two years after his authorization for warrantless wiretapping.

Think Progress » Bush Caught on Tape: “A Wiretap Requires A Court Order. Nothing Has Changed.†For those of you who still may think my position about Bush’s wiretapping being illegal, perhaps you should read his own words from a campaign speech, 2 years after he authorized warrantless wiretaps. Did he forget about his sweeping [...]
