Thin Places Thin Places - those places or events in life where the dividing line between the holy and the ordinary is very thin... to the point that the ordinary becomes holy and the holy becomes ordinary
I am a seminary student in the Southeast United States. There are a lot of issues that the church is facing that require serious prayer, serious discussion, and serious answers. All too often, religous fundamentalists think they have all the answers, and many Christians are too lazy to think about the issues for themselves. Because some of these issues are controversial and I will be looking for a job in a few years, I have chosen to post to this site anonymously. I want a place where I can address the issues facing the church and think out loud, without haaving to worry that a search committee is going to dig up this information when I am looking for a job.
But, there are still issues that need to be discussed and problems that need to be addressed. I hope to do that here. As Christians, we need to take the time to pray and study the issues for ourselves, but this is not easy. We do not now, nor will we in our lifetime have all the answers; I don't even think we understand all the questions. But the reward is not in finding THE answer or in solving THE problem. The reward is the knowledge we gain from our own studies and the studies of others as journey together in faith.
Thoughts on Scripture, theology, culture, and Christendom.
