Topics

Oh man have I been neglecting the blog. I have been so busy with work, school and church that I let this go. So I will give some topics that I have been pondering and that God willing, I will address in the future.

I have been thinking about open/closed communion and regarding the reasons for practiciing each.

I have been thinking about the "other" or the "stranger" and when he or she enters the church doors, say an example would be a poor, homeless person: and such aspects concerning this person as what do we do to extend hospitality without extending violence.

I have been pondering theodicy, and some philosophical arguments concerning the real-ness of God. This also includes theology proper, or in other words, the aspects and attributes of God and how we should and do describe them. I also have been thinking of how I would confront the argument of theodicy.

I have been pondering worship and some aspects like the "space" in which we worship.

These are just a few of the more concrete ideas that role in my head. I have many more that are too misty to put in any concrete fashion.
