Communion of Glitches: June 2008

http://communionofglitches.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 20, 2008. Toiling, spinning, and my 401k. My mom and I had a discussion last night about a book she's reading, The Importance of Being Foolish. The author, Brennan Manning, discusses the need for Christians to turn away from the secular world and the things that distract us from Christ. But instead of the small-scale traditional punching bags like secuar music and television, Manning tells us we need to turn from the diversions of security, power, being liked.

Communion of Glitches: The hundreth sheep

http://communionofglitches.blogspot.com/2007/12/hundreth-sheep.html

Tuesday, December 4, 2007. Not to mention that there's no room left for some really cool movies. Sometimes Christians approach personal holiness by isolating themselves from things that they perceive as ungodly. And there's a point where that makes sense. I don't go into topless bars because I know my reaction won't be Christlike. I don't always get that balance right. But Christ lived in his culture, and redeemed his culture. He didn't stand apart from it. Thanks for the good thoughts.

Communion of Glitches

http://communionofglitches.blogspot.com/2007/11/im-currently-among-other-things-reading.html

Friday, November 30, 2007. I'm currently (among other things) reading Stars of David. By Abigail Pogrebin. Even if you're not into Judaica, it's an interesting look at the vast spectrum of religious observance in America. One passage, from the piece about Leon Wieseltier, struck me:. And doesn't it strike anyone that the more accepting a country is of a multitude of religious expression, the better it is for everyone? How does religious tolerance hurt Christianity?

Communion of Glitches: May 2008

http://communionofglitches.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 25, 2008. I read this post. Last fall and have been thinking about my personal creed ever since. The idea of a personal creed rather than a community creed bumps up against and tussles with my Catholic schooling, my belief of church as community, and my mixed emotions about "cafeteria Christianity". Thus, it's been an incredibly empowering thought, and also an incredibly uncomfortable one. If a creed is completely personal, what's the point of being involved with a community at all?

Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Whereon he thought of himself in balance. I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see." John Burroughs. Is it just fear that keeps me from, say, donating all I have to the poor rather than setting up a retirement account? Is what I call "being practical" really a lack of faith in God to provide for my needs? Then there's Christ's call to be generous and givin...

Communion of Glitches: October 2007

Monday, October 29, 2007. How will U know the truth? Is the Bible all there is? Tons of foreign gods and goddesses) doesn't make them less truthful; it just means we are dealing with a different sort of truth. To tell the truth, I'm not entirely sure how a person justifies these discrepancies if they claim the Bible is 100% true in all senses of the word. Do you just ignore the parts that disagree? Insist that sources disputing the Bible's scientific and historical truth are wrong? The most memorable "Je...
