DNJ: Theology 2.0: Putting faces to names
http://dnj-twopointnought.blogspot.com/2010/01/putting-faces-to-names.html
DNJ: Theology 2.0. Tuesday, 26 January 2010. Putting faces to names. I have spent the last few days in hospital recovering from an operation. This has offered some time for reflection that, i am sorry to say, is all too rare these days. I thought that a celebratory blog would be worthwhile in response, noting a few observations. I think a few things on the back of this:. 8226; How important it is that we affirm our ability to learn something from everyone in the world, whether or not we like or agree wit...

DNJ: Theology 2.0: Folk music and the financial crisis
http://dnj-twopointnought.blogspot.com/2010/01/folk-music-and-financial-crisis.html
DNJ: Theology 2.0. Tuesday, 26 January 2010. Folk music and the financial crisis. The following is the text of a sermon given at the Chapel of the College of St Hild and St Bede, Durham in mid-2009:. Davey Moore was a boxer. On March 25th 1963 he was killed in a boxing match from a punch from his opponent, Sugar Ramos. Bob Dylan wrote a song about the death of Davey Moore in style of the nursery rhyme ‘Who Killed Cock Robin? And what’s the reason for? Not I," said the referee,. It's too bad he had to go,.

DNJ: Theology 2.0. Thursday, 31 January 2008. Thy Kingdom Come, on Bended Knee. My adoration for hymns and pretty much everything from high church liturgy has been developing for many years. At chapel last Sunday, we sung a hymn that I had never heard before: ‘Thy Kingdom Come on Bended Knee’. It is an odd first line but the words are incredible, and give a fantastic exposition of some elements of kingdom theology. You can get music and words here. Wednesday, 30 January 2008. Is not someone to whom I am ...

DNJ: Theology 2.0: October 2008
http://dnj-twopointnought.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
DNJ: Theology 2.0. Saturday, 25 October 2008. Richard Dawkins loves the tooth fairy. Indeed, there is no more evidence for the existence of the tooth fairy than the God so many people believe in. Correct. But is affirming the ‘existence’ of the tooth fairy (whatever that would mean) the scope of language about her? Question: is affirming the ‘existence’ of God (whatever that would mean) the scope of language about God? I have a few problems with putting a summary of one’s faith on the side of a bus.

DNJ: Theology 2.0: April 2008
http://dnj-twopointnought.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
DNJ: Theology 2.0. Sunday, 27 April 2008. The Son of Man. Lingo and I were chatting on Friday night, and he brought up this possibility for interpreting a particular story in Matthew in an innovative and novel way. Matthew’s concern with ‘Son of Man’ (SoM) language, particularly in terms of the ‘coming’ of the SoM, is a central feature of Matthew’s Christology and eschatology. This takes particular note in the parable of the sheep and the goats (Mt 26? Back to the sheep and the goats, at the coming of th...

DNJ: Theology 2.0. Monday, 15 September 2008. Ubuntu, The Kingdom of God and the American Dream. The words of two men that I like and admire intersected this week: Russell Brand and Barack Obama. Brand’s introduction to the MTV Awards in the US began with a tirade against George Bush, and an endorsement ‘on behalf of the world’ of Barack Obama. Brand’s humour was wicked and cutting, and caused uproar (no bad thing if he is correct, I feel). But what about Barack Obama? Anglicans, OT/NT and Inerrancy.

DNJ: Theology 2.0. Thursday, 29 May 2008. N light of lots of things really, and particularly some recent discussion that have occurred on here I feel that saying something about what I feel that camp is might help somewhat. So here they are:. Reality.
We won’t hide who we are – with all our flaws and failings – because God loves us are we are. 8232;We are a community of unconditional love in which people are enabled to find acceptance and healing. We live simply – an open fire, coal-fired boilers,...

DNJ: Theology 2.0: Sad News
http://dnj-twopointnought.blogspot.com/2009/01/sad-news.html
DNJ: Theology 2.0. Wednesday, 14 January 2009. I got some bad news today. A wonderful woman, who was out cleaner for many years, died in a car crash last week. She was from Newcastle, and moved to Buxton to move in with her partner, who subsequently got rid of her. She has two grown-up children and a grandchild who she would talk about a great deal. So Janice, rest in peace. And may your kinds words, thoughtful acts, generous spirit and hope for the future continue to inspire us all.

DNJ: Theology 2.0: November 2008
http://dnj-twopointnought.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
DNJ: Theology 2.0. Tuesday, 4 November 2008. Whether it be the faux-American accents that everyone insists on singing in, the awful singing/harmonising that usually accompanies it, the implicit eroticism with which spiritual themes are addressed, or the psychological manipulation of ecstasy coupled with hard-hitting and unequivocal sermons that usually accompany it – I feel rather uneasy about it. My personal favourite is ‘Jesus, take me as I am’. Jesus take me as I am,. I can come no other way. Whatever...
