In the midst of a sea of papers and general busyness, I recently received some very welcome news. I’ve been accepted into a MPhil/PhD program at the International Baptist Theological Seminary in Prague, Czech Republic (see below). I first heard about this school through a friend here at Bethany (who is nearly [...]

“Part of the inner world of everyone is this sense of emptiness, unease, incompleteness, and I believe that this in itself is a word from God, that this is the sound that God’s voice makes in a world that has explained him away. In such a world, I suspect that maybe God speaks to [...]

Well the new Flames jerseys came out today and I think I’m a fan (apparently Keenan’s influence was minimal). Some early reviewers don’t like the Alberta and Canada flags on the shoulders but I don’t really care. I would probably get rid of them if it was up to me but I don’t [...]

So here we go with the new look. I’m wide open to feedback as long as it’s positive (in Michael Scott’s words, “constructive compliments”).

“Against any materialist reductionism, Christians claim that God has seen fit to make room in the universe for creatures who bear some of the glory of their Maker, and who, even on the rainiest Monday morning of their lives, look something like God. We image God in our personhood, communion, responsibility, dignity, virtue, [...]
