You may have noticed, dear reader, that I haven’t posted in a month.\u00a0 It’s been a busy month, mostly filled with good activities.\u00a0 I’ve also been pondering this blog — what it has been in the six or seven years I’ve been writing it, and what it should, if anything, be.\u00a0 For better or worse, I’m an inveterate scribbler, and I want to keep this outlet open.\u00a0 I hope that, at its best, it isn’t a space for foolish arguments, but rather is in some way helpful and edifying to some people.\u00a0 It is, of course, just a blog<\/em>, and should be read in that light:\u00a0 not as anything final or authoritative, but merely the often disjointed and ill-formed thoughts of one person seeking to participate in the life of Christ in the world.<\/p>\n

In that spirit, I’m making an effort to change up the blog a bit and to try something a bit more constructive and structured.\u00a0 I’ve added five new categories, which correspond to the new Pages above.\u00a0 My goal is to offer one post each week<\/del> month in each of these categories:<\/p>\n

\u03b2\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03af\u03b1 — reflections on the texts of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures.<\/p>\n

\u03c6\u03b9\u03bb\u03bf\u03c3\u03bf\u03c6\u03af\u03b1 – reflections on philosophy, particularly the Christian philosophical tradition of faith seeking understanding.<\/p>\n

\u03c0\u03bd\u03b5\u03cd\u03bc\u03b1 — reflections on spiritual life.<\/p>\n

\u03c0\u03cc\u03bb\u03b9\u03c2 — reflections on political theology, law and culture.<\/p>\n

\u03c6\u03cd\u03c3\u03b9\u03c2 — science and nature.<\/p>\n

I hope some people will continue to read and enjoy; and I hope in some way there will be hints and echoes here and there of the presence of the Author of Life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
