nice to hear from you bot...hey landon, hey rosella<br /><br />nice to hear from you both.<br />landon, that comment re: you *will* be edited struck me as having a lot of resonance with kenneth burke's the "drama of history" and Christianity as an ongoing conversation. see Borg's the heart of Christianity p.18-21. <br /><br />i think that also speaks, at least somewhat, to Rosella's concerns. <br /><br />cary.LittleBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265499967129516159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658155.post-58475557418084058272010-07-29T01:42:54.000+01:002010-07-29T01:42:54.000+01:00First, there always has to be some sort of authori...First, there always has to be some sort of authority, if only to maintain organization and keep chaos at bay. I have no problem with people finding their own theological ground, but why throw out the centuries of theological study and start from the beginning. I would not find it acceptable for people to build their own theology based on nothing and I would find it frustrating to seek out a faith system and be told I can just figure it out for myself. I am all for questioning and change, but I think there needs to be some sort of structure to build on. Thus, I believe there must be some theological integrity.<br />But then, I am pretty old and it is hard for me to give up everything I know. Perhaps if I were 40 I would see the virtues. Thanks for the stimulating discussion. I look forward to the next chapter of Landon's book.

A couple of thoughts:
One interesting...Very nice.<br /><br />A couple of thoughts:<br /><br />One interesting thing about open source is the reality that nothing is ever finished (as you put it). Wikipedia has it as one of their Five Pillars that if anyone gets to participate then we should assume that work we have done *will be* edited and perhaps removed. That's the nature of the beast. when we create in an open source environment we do not own the creation.<br /><br />Second: "i would want to question whether youth worship is more creative only in so much as the 'adult' church actually thinks it has the right answer and young people don't have anything to tell us grown ups theologically." Very good point, and I think spot on in many cases.<br /><br />thanks for helping me make these thoughts better.landonhttp://landonville.comnoreply@blogger.com
