This will introduce a new feature here at Through a Glass Darkly, titled “Through the Looking Glass.” Through the Looking Glass is a semi-sort-of-regular round-up of recent blog posts I’ve found interesting. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
Making room for mystery<\/em>: Today I discovered a delightful site called Tabletalk<\/a>. It’s the blog of Presbyterian pastor Craig S. Williams<\/a>, whom I envy greatly because he has more, and nicer, guitars than I do. As Craig describes it, the site’s title comes from Martin Luther’s conversations around the eating (and drinking) table. Craig’s most recent entry, Making Room for Mystery<\/a>, is about how our faith is a relationship, not a simple prepackaged plan. I’m finding I like these Presbyterian-pastor-Fuller-Seminary-graduate-interested-in-missional-and-postmodern-church sites. Maybe I’m finding out through them who I am.<\/p>\n Why we need church (small “c”)<\/em>: Alan Creech<\/a> writes “[t]here has never really been a time in the history of The Church (as a whole) that being connected to Christ has been separated from being connected to a community of others who are connected to Christ. ” He makes some good observations about why individual Christians still need to remain connected to such a community.<\/p>\n Faded and Stressed Out Video<\/em>: Aaron at The Voiz<\/a> is feeling Faded, Spent, and Stressed Out<\/a>, and he has the videoblog entry to prove it. Check it out.<\/p>\n
