Yesterday, things got quite eventful in front of the Hill University Center at UAB. While I was finishing up a book by NT Wright, a friend spotted me in a nearby foyer. He and I chatted a bit until finally it was time for his class. As he was packing up, he asked if I [...]

Today, I would like to continue our journey through Vondey’s work, People of Bread: Rediscovering Ecclesiology. In previous posts (Feb-8 Theological Imagination, Feb-9 Imagine That, Feb-11 To Image or Not to Image), we surveyed the importance and role of images in the Church. Chapter two is called Companionship: The Social Nature of the People of [...]

Recently, I read a thought-provoking article by John Ortberg called, “Your Hidden Curriculum,” found in the winter 2009 volume of Leadership Journal (a good journal I might add that can be found at Barnes & Noble).
