Ok, so I've joined the fray of blogging! My blog stands for uncompromising...well...Compromise! I have many questions and concerns about how things are going these days so I invite you to join me as I sort out my thoughts. Why the middle? Well, I guess I am destined to be a good Anglican because most often I find truth in the mix, in the both-and of things.

If Jesus were to appear today, what would he say about the state of the world? What issues would Jesus select as the most important, the most worthy of debate and attention? Would Jesus lament acceptance of homosexuality as an alternative life-style or would he question our lack of response to suffering in the world? I think it is possible we have become idolatrous in our quest to be right. Listening to debates in the church, especially in the Episcopal Church, it would appear the most important issue we face is whether we have the most defensible view. Perhaps I am too simplistic, but I happen to believe Jesus was serious when he commanded we "love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength...and to love our neighbors as ourselves." Christianity has never been a faith about getting it 'right'. After all, we are resurrection people...
Godspeed
