Sarx:GenX Someplace between 40 and Death

Christ is Risen!

«Be poets of the Logos»

Sarx (σαρξ) is the Greek word for "flesh".

The blog of a struggling Orthodox Christian working out his salvation in Asheville, North Carolina, CSA. He worships here. This blog contains a good number of things, sometimes religious, sometimes not. To read a "full profile" on of your host, mash here. Please, remember the sinner, Huw Raphael, in your prayers.

"Credo adiuva incredulitatem meam."
Mark IXxxiii

I who have written this story, or rather this fable, give no credence to the various incidents related in it. For some things in it are the deceptions of demons, other poetic figments; some are probable, others improbable; while still others are intended for the delectation of foolish men. (Closing lines of the Táin Bó Cúalnge)

I am not a teacher nor a clergyman. These posts are my opinions: I pray they are in conformity with the Teachings of the Orthodox Church. If not, I beg for correction.

«Holy Tradition is the teaching of the Church, God-given with a living voice, from which a portion was later written down. As with Holy Scripture, so, too, Holy Tradition contains Holy Revelation, and is, therefore, fundamental for our salvation. Holy Tradition is the life of the Church in the Holy Spirit and, consonant with the enduring life of the Church, is thus a wellspring of Holy Revelation, such that, consequently, it possesses the same authority as Holy Scripture.»
// Elder Cleopa of Romania

I have the book and would like to be in the discussion, please.

From: Huw Raphael | 2006.05.25:2014 (@093)

Dono! That's Awesome! I have not yet cracked open the book, but I know from hearing interviews that the author was partly interested in those we might call the "wrongly churched". I think another voice from that past will be very interesting.

We now have five readers - which I think of as critical mass for these projects.

I look forward to the discussions!

Well, thanks Huw. I am about halsway through the book. I had known nothing about McLaren and what little I knew of the so-called Emergent Church held no interest for me.

Things do change.

I spent some time reading good Christians anathematizing and thunderbolt hurling these teachings. I can see myself, at least holding their coats in my past.

I also look forward to the discussions.

No fair: yer reading ahead. :-)

From: dono | 2006.05.27:1045 (@697)

oops. Are the ground rules posted somewhere?

:)

I found a recent interview video online. From McLaren's website > Appearances > there is a link to a May 25 seminar.

Not much of a blog; but there it is.

From: dono | 2006.06.19:1040 (@694)

You've got mail.

From: dono | 2006.06.20:2159 (@166)

Mines up. I am brand new at this. You want it on your page?

That's great Dono!

On Friday I'll make a post of all links to all the ones I can find - and then I hope we'll have a round robin discussion. I'm still in the middle of chapter 4. I'll have a post either tonight or tomorrow.
