This page : http://www.episcopalchurch.org/page/eco-justice under the “Ministries” tab actually shows up as a drop down from the Home page, so they have the best “presence” yet found. This is not exactly a glowing report. As I have been maintaining, this seems to me to be warranting a significant, theologically challenging and reformation-inducing confrontation that strikes at the core of who Continue Reading
EVANGELISM , a theological staple, must become MUCH MORE about the “GOOD News” about the BAD News that is growing year by year: which is that Humankind, drunk on it’s “miracles” of production , driven by fossil fuels, has alternatives. And it is going to take the kind of local, national, and global collaboration that we already need to battle Continue Reading
I had this comment to make as I got trollled in a thread on The Hill (which is the norm there, as it is absolutely overrun with right wing trolls). This one was in a thread under an article that was titled “Sanders courts Trump voters”, which is a terrible title based on the quote from Sanders that prompted it, Continue Reading

But I’m having to copy the Continue Reading
Added some custom code to my theme header so that my site shows a title that fits the name according to the link with which they came in (theoblgical, occupytheology, or ecoecclesia)
I cannot help now, but think — when I see or have cause to think about a depiction in the Superman stories — of the people of Krypton’s reaction to Jor-El’s warnings about the fate of their planet. Sure, this is a modern mythology story, but the archetype here is valid: That “a way of life” has a strong Continue Reading
Yes. One listen to the New Atheist leaders and their constant barrage of pointing to literalist interpretations of the Christian scriptures, and you’ll know what is meant here. “Cringeworthy” is about the size of it. I’ve been “cringing” along with MUslim people of faith for some time now as I see Christians characterizing them in the same way New Atheists Continue Reading
