I confess I take perverse delight as a theologian in the controversies surrounding postmodernism.

It’s hard to remember that Jesus did not come to make us safe, but rather to make us disciples, citizens of God’s new age, a kingdom of surprise.

I simply cannot get over what a surprising and wonderful life God has given me.

I am a Congregationalist with Catholic sensibilities. Which probably explains how I ended up in a Episcopal church.

The church is constituted as a new people who have been gathered from the nations to remind the world that we are in fact one people. Gathering, therefore, is an eschatological act as it is the foretaste of the unity of the communion of the saints.

The lives of the saints are the hermeneutical key to Scripture.

Christianity is not a set of beliefs or doctrines one believes in order to be a Christian, but rather Christianity is to have one's body shaped, one's habits determined, in such a way that the worship of God is unavoidable.
