Theology and Christianity

• Francis Delivers in his first high profile document on marriage according to FirstThings.com

• Christina Cleveland who has been more commonly writing on the issue of race, writes a Liberation Theology for Singles via Jesus Creed

• The Hermeneutics Quiz: What’s Your Score? from Jesus Creed – feel free to post your results in the comments!

• Gratitude and Foreboding Joy from Richard Beck at Experimental Theology pulls together Brene Brown’s work and his own.

Brown…describes gratitude as a spiritual practice, which connects gratitude to doxology. As Brown writes, “joyfulness and gratitude [are] spiritual practices that [are] bound to a belief in human connectedness and a power greater than us.”

• On Evangelicals, Race, and Fixing Faulty Buildings from Think Theology

• “Grow? Go?….Which, Lord? from revkennyblog

• Relationships Happen in the Margins from Missional Church Network

Margin is like oxygen— everybody needs some. If we have too little, we suffer from the shortage. If we have too much, the excess will not benefit us additionally. But having the right amount permits us to breathe freely.

• The Gospel and Its Counterfeits from FirstThings.com RSS Feed | Leithart

• Jeremiah vs. Augustine: What Mysticism Says About Goodness & Depravity from Missio Alliance

So we are not basically good in the sense that we – our own self-created egos – carry with us, independently, what we need. We are good in the sense that God is good, and has marked humanity with God’s image.

• I have heard Zahnd’s name thrown around in the last couple of years but this was an especially helpful theological primer for him; Shoe-Shopping with Karl Barth: Brian Zahnd’s Water to Wine from Jesus Creed

• My Biggest Barrier to Starting A Fresh Expression… Church People

• I Just came across the Journal of Missional Practise through this helpful book review – An Other Kingdom

• Is Bonhoeffer More Relevant than Known? – Bonhoeffer has so many resources in his theology for the 21st century, but is he almost forgotten already? via Jesus Creed

News and Miscellany

• This is another brilliantly written piece from Fernando Gros on Prince, which was especially illuminating for someone like me who knew very little of his impact on music. Fernando seems to be able to write about things I don’t have much interest in and make them readable and engaging.

• Always great Linked List // 15 April 2016 from mbjones

• ISIS have been pushed back out of Palmyra and this piece from Big Picture shows the extent of the damage.

Productivity and Habits

• Note-taking: By Hand or by Computer? – the long and short is, with typed notes you have more notes to refer to, but writing by hand makes your process and content to prioritise note taking.

• You Need that Sleep from Jesus Creed – the part about blindness was particularly fascinting in this.

• With Version 1.1 and an iPad App, I’m Switching to Airmail from Federico Viticci – MacStories – My search for an iOs aestheticly powerful app for mail continues!
