Smudges and scribbles about God(ing). Laquo; Having Hope/Being Hope. The Silence of Holy Saturday. Lutherans are now Nazarenes, denominational expert says. January 13, 2011 by David Johns. Following the recent announcement of changes to the Zodiac calendar, a denominational watchdog organization, Denomawatch, made a surprising announcement of its own today. The confusion is due to a miscalculation of Luther’s posting of the 95 thesis at Wittenburg in 1517. A number of religious leaders have reacted stron...

Nancy's Apology: November 2004
http://nancysapology.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
Because a life must speak. Friday, November 12, 2004. Fingers in the Pie. I have to teach firstday school tomorrow. It’ll probably be just my kids who show up. Someone else is bogged down in report cards, another family is too tired to come out, another is taking a leave of absence to deal with family matters. The others have all stopped coming because of our chronic lack of space. Sigh. Yeah, it gives a whole new spin on the idea of intelligent design! God giggling as s/he whirls the universe to expand&...

A house is made of walls and beams; a Home is built of love and dreams. Reliving the Flood →. December 31, 2010. It was a difficult transition, to be sure. But we made it. Isabella is thriving in her new school and has made some wonderful new friends. And while Harrison isn’t exactly blossoming, he has acclimated fairly well and continues to make straight As.

Nancy's Apology: November 2005
http://nancysapology.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Because a life must speak. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Emerging Church Idea Emerging. I had never heard of the "emerging church" until I stumbled on these blogs. Maybe it's not talked about much in Canada. Reginald Bibby's latest book Restless Churches. Talks about church renewal in Canada, but in no way is he talking about post-modern thinking. In fact, except for a couple of good quotes and some meticulous statistics on church growth/stasis in Canada, it's a bit of a yawn. Or worse, if I suggested that...

Nancy's Apology: June 2006
http://nancysapology.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Because a life must speak. Friday, June 23, 2006. Heresies is the sort of topic you blog about after someone's said something that has pi* ed you off. Like, royally. Sort of: What is wrong. With what that person just said? It pivoted on something, I just can't tell what! And it's driving me nuts! And that's the rub with heresies. Because a heresy by definition is relative. It has to be heretical to. Is usually a set of doctrines. But what about just general heresies? 1 God as Santa Claus. Enemies. Un...

Nancy's Apology: January 2006
http://nancysapology.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Because a life must speak. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. I am a Christian. I am a Christian. There, I've said it, I'm sure for the first time. Now why was it so hard to say - as if I'm at an AA meeting or something? Why do I trip over the word? Why is it scary-feeling, as if I'm letting go of my brain? After that, it became easier to face the words and ideas of Christianity. I could distinguish between the Jesus of Matthew, Mark and Luke, and the Christ of John, Paul, and others - and the FrankenGod of ...

Nancy's Apology: October 2005
http://nancysapology.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Because a life must speak. Saturday, October 29, 2005. Today I had some time to pass till my favourite kids’ consignment store opened (who opens at 10:30? So I browsed in the Christian bookstore next door. The sign over the door reads: When we serve you, we serve Him. Yikes. I did a double-take and flipped back again to check. But it was true - the life and teachings of Jesus were missing. Then she gave me a convoluted theological justification that basically said the teachings of Jesus were not all that...

Nancy's Apology: April 2006
http://nancysapology.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Because a life must speak. Monday, April 24, 2006. Me and My Big Mouth. In a moment or weakness or enthusiasm, I volunteered. Mental note in the future to bring duct tape to MM to fasten my hands to the chair). So now I have to find something to read so that I can be prepared to lead something. I've given it a bit of thought (emphasis on bit. But can anyone of you of the great Quaker Literati suggest anything else? It has to be a book I can get my hands on relatively quickly. Yeah, me and my big mouth.
