https://comictheologian.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/becoming-like-a-child-rebirth
Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. You can go home again, but do you really want to? Becoming like a child: rebirth. I had to laugh: in my business suit with leather computer bag, I was imagining a city-wide game of Sardines. I get nervous in these crowed environments, and find myself trying to take up as little space as possible. I also try to just blend: I don’t need to necessarily add to the mayhem… it wasn’t a far leap. 3 Responses to “becoming like a child: rebirth”. I love the...

Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. On saints and citizenship. The ‘blessed’ poor. Why I love the city…. As I approached he called out “M’am! 8221; I turned towards him, preparing to blow his requests for food or money off as nicely as possible. “Wha…? 8221; I mumbled through my half -droolly, numb smile. Could I buy you a sandwich or a cup of coffee? You look really cold.”. Damn, I love the city. It will never let you escape poverty: that of others, and that of your own. Lake Street...

Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. Starting the year off right: reflections on epiphany. When the saints impose. On rightly ordering ordination. I watched as her shoulders began to shake and the tears began to flow freely. For those outside the family circle, it was an apparent movement of the Spirit. For those within the familial lines, we saw abusive and wretched pain being transmitted. She stood, newly ordained, and faced an expectant crowd: muted by the abuse of power. And again...

Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. Why I love the city…. Starting the year off right: reflections on epiphany. The ‘blessed’ poor. My uncle is in the process of becoming a Cistercian monk. It is a lengthy journey, full of long periods of silence and contemplation over a period of years. During this time, the vows of obedience, chastity, and poverty are considered. 2) can we (the church) truly embrace the poor (the broken, the sinful, the undesirable)? Preferential Option for the Poor.

Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. Newer posts ». Oh geesh, Ganesh…. The company I work for recently reorganized, and several of my friends now are reporting to new managers. One of these managers has taken a somewhat ‘hard’ line on having any personal effects in his employees’ cubicles. So I’ve recently inherited some items that now sit on the shelf above my desk. These friends come and visit their displaced belongings occasionally. Oh geesh, Ganesh. Remove. A note on my note….

Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. The ‘blessed’ poor. On rightly ordering ordination. Starting the year off right: reflections on epiphany. I think I subconsciously continued this interpretation of events, even through my adult life. The story of the Magi was about God inverting normal structures of power so it seemed: the mighty and knowledgeable in humility pay homage to the weak. God demanded and commanded full (all encompassing) fealty. Je ne sais quoi. The story of the Magi is...

Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. Scripture on the wrong side of the tracks. Why I love the city…. On saints and citizenship. Since then I’ve learned that she had participated in early voting via mail, and in a very unique way, her vote still counted–she posthumously helped elect her grandson! Does this trajectory determine our paths in some fatalistic fashion? Are we able to deviate from the path (for good or ill)? Filed under: Communion of Saints. Feed for this Entry. You are com...

Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. Oh geesh, Ganesh…. On saints and citizenship. Scripture on the wrong side of the tracks. My view from the train as this gentleman wakes and begins to shift to his chair. Taken Nov. 5, 2008. Each morning I take the elevated train (‘the El’, if you are from Chicago) into the heart of the city (the “Loop”) from the north side. One sight, however, always gives me pause: near the Lawrence stop my attention is drawn to the back of an old warehouse. It si...

Because theology is comic (in every sense of the word)…. Archive for March, 2009. When the saints impose. 8220;Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return…” were the words uttered as ashes were smudged in the sign of the cross upon my forehead (recalling God’s words to Adam in Genesis 3:19). The imposition of ashes has been a longstanding Christian tradition, marking the beginning of a season of contemplation and sobriety: […]. Filed under: Ash Wednesday. Joel on why I love the city….
