I just typed about 3 MovableType text box screenfuls of stuff on the final chapter of IRO (Cities of God) and while typing, the whole window went poof, gone into oblivion. That’s the end of my Wifi stay as well. I gotta go run my errand. Will try again later. The jist of it is a mention of Tony Campolo as an explicitly Christian sociology with what I consider to be a healthy theological-1 telos.

Also, a further butressing of my contrar- to -Smith/RO sense that Wallis is MUCH more theological ally than “detractor” or “Constaninian” than Smith STILL seems to bewillingto allow. Mostly, though, and most primarily interms of practice. (which seems to be the most important thing, IMHO) Smith’s assesment , his responses not withstanding, seem to be WAY too harsh for someone of Wallis’ hsitory and leadership in presenting to the public an intellectually accessible assesment of the dangers of Empire and Constantianianism, as well as what I feel is a pretty damn healthy telos (damn maybe not the best choice of words, so maybe “rad” is better)

More elab later
