Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale: February 2007
http://camwest.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale. Monday, February 26, 2007. For all of February the usual ministries of the church have been suspended so that as many people as possible can particpate as much as possible in the church-wide Imagine 07 conference. I was mentionaing to a Catholic colleague today that this has had much the same pilgrimage function as Lent: to (1) simplify life in order to (2) seek God's guidance and begin to (3) undertake a journey of transformation.

Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale: June 2007
http://camwest.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale. Wednesday, June 27, 2007. Following on from Ben at Faith and Theology, and many others, I confess:. I have a fondness for terms that carry more meaning in their original language than in translated English. I cannot understand why "change for the sake of change" is worse than "constancy for the sake of constancy". I am far too impatient with people whom I consider are more black-and-white than me. I prefer the synoptics to John; Luke to Matthew and Mark; and Acts to Paul.

Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale: September 2007

Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Don't Risk Howard (& Costello)? Even though it's yet to be called, everyone knows that the federal election is not far away. It's clear that campaigning is now fully underway, as not only have policies (to a greater or lesser extent) been released, so the mud is being slung. Though change may seem risky, not changing (or at least attempting. Not to change) may actually be more so. Just ask the coalition front bench. Links to this post.

http://camwest.blogspot.com/2007/11/our-vitality-lies-in-movement.html
Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale. Sunday, November 04, 2007. Our Vitality Lies in Movement. Recent mentions in various media of the Camino de Santiago (Way of St James) in northern Spain has me longing to participate in that spiritual practice known as pilgrimage. It is in a book whose author is both an ordained Mennonite minister and a Benedictine oblate that I found the following quote. Bruce Chatwin The Songlines. Downers Grove, Il.: InterVarsity Press, 2007) 39. It is so full of truth. Scott Bader-Sa...

Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale. Saturday, January 06, 2007. Real Christains are Radicals. I was astounded to Christopher Pearson's claim in today's. That " Real Christians are Social Conservatives. He backs up this claim with three arguments: that the Bible mandates a theology of conservatism, that Christian tradition demonstrates a history of convservatism, and that contemporary church-attendance trends vindicate a strategy of conservatism.

Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale. Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Recently I read Why Church Matters. Which is no being reviewed by Scot McKnight at Jesus Creed. I've been looking forward to this series, as the book resonated deeply with me because of the way if differs from usual ecclesiological approaches. Though prescriptive or descriptive approaches (ie: "What can be synthesised from the raw biblical data? Or "How can we account for the variety of ecclesiologies? Sadly, at least one reviewer. Is determinitati...

Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale: You Must Be Bourne Again
http://camwest.blogspot.com/2007/09/you-must-be-bourne-again.html
Starvin' in the Belly of a Whale. Thursday, September 06, 2007. You Must Be Bourne Again. WARNING PLOT SPOILER FOLLOWS. I saw The Bourne Ultimatum. Of foremost significance for me is the theme of memory and Bourne's amnesia is finally remedied in TBU. Is a mistrust of authority. As enemy of the state, Bourne goes well beyond Bond as the likeable rogue with tacit support of the authorities. TBU. Certainly this is a parable for our time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
