“Ecclesiology as if Bodies Matter: (Re)Shaping Moral Imaginations" By Mary McClintock Fulkerson

Bruce Epperly, professor at Lancaster Theological Seminary, emailed me about his own understanding of 'Transforming Theology' and I thought I would share it with you.

John Cobb recently edited a book entitled "Back to Darwin" and with Darwin's 200th birthday just past and a couple questions from our Theo-Bloggers in my hand I asked Cobb some evolutionary questions.

Our Theo-Blogger Consortium is really getting busy. Keeping up and reading all the posts has been a fun challenge. Enjoy! Blake Huggins agrees with Dr. Clayton, that we have fallen into the heresy of orthodoxy. Wabi Sabi continues his engagement with Cobb's "Reclaiming the Church." There he argues that Cobb's vision is proto-emergence.

Bruce Sanguin commented on a previous post, but I thought I would share it given its pertinence. If you have a good definition of 'progressive Christianity' send it to us. As one who has struggled mightily with what to call myself as a post-postmodern Christian – one who takes perspective and context seriously – I realize that I’m not comfortable calling myself a “progressive” Christian, at least not the way that adjective has come to be used and understood.

I wish to risk reflecting on the spiritual qualities of jazz performance, that is, its dynamic, relational, and open character. I say “risks” because most of us might not immediately connect spirituality and jazz.
