I've just retired from the Lutheran ministry. What I liked best in ministry was a free-wheeling Bible class. I'm not afraid of thoughtful arguments but have no time for biblical literalists, those of the inerrant and infallible school of thought who allow no opposing views.
My last bible class -- we studied Titus -- suggested I do this blog. I've been thinking about blogging through St. Matthew's Gospel, as it is the Gospel being used during 2010/11 in churches that have a lectionary cycle.
I'd like to promise that I'll blog every day, but know I won't. I would like to do this as a spiritual/intellectual exercise.
You are welcome to be part of this conversation. But if you are offensive . . . by my definition . . . I will ban you from the blog. What I consider offensive is pretty well defined in the first paragraph.
I want to talk about religion with people who aren't afraid to think; with doubters, questioners, and those some Christians call unbelievers . . . as well as those Christians call believers.
