The Road Goes On. Tuesday, May 31, 2005 at 4:27 PM. Soldiers of Christ I (Harpers.org). Jeff Sharlet of The Revealer. Investigates one of the lesser-known power-centers of conservative evangelicalism for the May issue of Harper's. It's a lengthy close-up of Colorado Springs' New Life Church and Pastor Ted Haggard (also current president of the National Association of Evangelicals). New Lifers, Pastor Ted writes with evident pride, like the benefits, risks, and maybe above all, the excitement of a free-ma...

Debunking theologies of glory since, well, last November. Friday, September 23, 2005. Bill Cork evacuates from Houston. Former-Lutheran-turned-Catholic blogger Bill Cork has left his home in Houston TX and is now with friends or family in Atlanta, blogging about the latest natural disaster to assault our fellow citizens on the Gulf of Mexico. Posted by Maurice Frontz @ 11:32 AM. A turn for the worse? On the face of it, this is very wrongheaded. Granted, there is a huge problem in seminaries everywhere (P...

Camassia: Ecumenicism and torture
http://camassia.notfrisco2.com/archives/005567.html
Laquo; The best defense is offense. What do you mean "we," white man? January 28, 2005. In the comments to this post. I think there's a division among Christians between those who think that (to simplify tremendously) there is a radical break between "nature" and "grace" and those who don't. People like T.W., Hauerwas and Yoder want to emphasize the Gospel's distinctiveness from all other religions and especially the distinctiveness of Jesus' ethic. Still, given how vehement Telford's been elsewhere agai...

Camassia: War and murder
http://camassia.notfrisco2.com/archives/005589.html
Laquo; Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. Freedom for my people ». February 15, 2005. As I've said before, I think that basic moral norms don't depend on any specific revelation from God. They are what Calvinists call a common grace. Defenders of putting the Ten Commandments in public buildings have often pointed out that, eliding the first four, the Commandments express moral principles that no reasonable person would disagree with. I think that's true. All societies have. I'm a Quaker" phenomenon. ...

Camassia: A bit more on international law
http://camassia.notfrisco2.com/archives/005582.html
Laquo; What do you mean "we," white man? Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord ». February 08, 2005. A bit more on international law. Sorry I've been absent from the blog - I don't have any good excuse, just general distraction. But I have been thinking a bit more about the question of international law, especially after I commented at beppeblog on what went wrong with Star Trek. Especially the bit about how its creators couldn't envision a peaceful future Earth without making it basically monocultural.

Camassia: A little fraternal correction
http://camassia.notfrisco2.com/archives/005563.html
Laquo; Nature, nurture, doing and being. The best defense is offense ». January 25, 2005. A little fraternal correction. I must admit that after I read Telford's new FAQ. My first thought was, "Well, whoever wrote that to him probably won't be any more satisfied than I was when I. Who've probably asked the same questions coming from the exact opposite place. Even people who are. Dyed-in-the-wool secularists don't exactly feel culturally dominant these days. I can tell you from personal experience, a ...

Debunking theologies of glory since, well, last November. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. Neil Armstrong in Gettysburg. I had expected Michael (to whom I have read every moon landing book appropriate for his age group) to be overawed. He was thankful, and happy, but I don't think understands what a rare opportunity this was. Posted by Maurice Frontz @ 6:48 AM. Thursday, May 19, 2005. Benjamin F. Martin: France in 1938. As for the politicians, it seems that:. C) Finally, the anti-semitism still pervasive in the ri...

Blog of Concord: June 2005
http://concordblog.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Debunking theologies of glory since, well, last November. Tuesday, June 28, 2005. No Word from the Lord. At Verbum Ipsum: "Jesus never said a word about about highway appropriation bills or FCC regulations! His point (or at least as I take it) - this is intellectual laziness - whether from the left (never said anything about abortion, homosexuality) or from the right (never said anything about environmentalism or government subsidies). Jesus never said a word about. Antidepressants(so there, Tom Cruise!

Camassia: Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord
http://camassia.notfrisco2.com/archives/005584.html
Laquo; A bit more on international law. War and murder ». February 09, 2005. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. Over at Icthus, Nate Ljilje wrote a lengthy post. About America's "ethic of violence." I think that he's half right. I agree, as my pastor pointed out. Although the article I linked in that post is no longer up, another treatment. Of the same presentation says:. When a nation goes to war against another nation, it may be merely re-enacting an event as old as humanity itself, according to scient...
