Daniel Fan very thoughtfully blogged about after each day of conversation. Check it out:
Here’s a link to the Twitter feed:
“It’s all about sinking a pint and making sure you can meet again.” – Colin Greene
Native theologians can’t see themselves as the Children of Israel…they relate more closely 2 role of the Canaanite
Twiss – 4th of July is the U.S. High Holy Day
Musa Dube – Text and rituals are all loaded guns, that need to be re-thought, re-imagined, re-interpreted
syncretism is a normal part of all Xian faith. We’re all syncretists, all of the time. — Richard Twiss
American way of life is falsely called melting pot because it simply reduces everyone 2 the lowest common denominator
Richard Twiss is about “returning to the earth as a good place to live out our faith”
Dube: The problem is sending this western, Christianized culture to every context as if it were the norm.
Peace, dwight
