Theology
The Cross: Reflection by Barbara Brown Taylor
Jesus was not brought down by atheism and anarchy. He was brought down by law and order allied with religion, which is always a deadly mix. Beware those who claim to know the mind of God and are prepared to use force, if necessary, to make others conform. Beware those who cannot tell God’s will […]
Biblical Inerrancy
From my friend Mark (how would you respond?): PROBLEMS WITH BIBLICAL INERRANCY from http://www.religioustolerance.org/inerran6.htm Why biblical inerrancy is critical: A major concern occurs when the Bible is considered to be totally inerrant, in its teaching of theology, morals, beliefs, geology, geography, history, etc. If it is so considered, then it leaves the individual’s faith vulnerable. […]

Information and our Next Evolutionary Leap (Diarmuid O’Murchu)
Essay 1: Information and our Next Evolutionary Leap Many years ago, The Jesuit scholar, Teilhard de Chardin, claimed that the biological (physical) evolution of our species had probably reached its climax; in biological terms, we could not evolve much further.

The Cosmic Walk (diarmuid O’murchu)
THE COSMIC WALK This version of the Cosmic Walk traces Creation’s story in a two-pronged approach: a) Specific Stages identified with a particular date, based on current scientific knowledge. b) Specific Energy-patterns that give shape and form to the unfolding story. I align these energy-patterns with the seven charkas, enduring features of all forms of […]
Diarmuid O’Murchu: From Universe to Multiverse
ESSAY 2: From Universe to Multiverse (READER’s NOTE: Officially, the word multiverse means several universes existing simultaneously. It is sometimes used to refer to the possibility that other universes existed before the present one, and others may succeed it. I use the term with BOTH meanings in mind). Galileo was hammered by the Catholic Church […]
Substitutionary Atonement
First someone asked: What is the importance of the resurrection if substitutionary penal atonement is the primary way of understanding the meaning of the death of Jesus? Among other comments, another offered: The weakness of substitutionary atonement is that is seems to focus on Christ’s death without making very much of the ideas of either […]

What Took So Long?
Note from Rowland: Harry Cook is a lovable heretic, I believe, like Bishop Spong. He’s embedded in the ‘far left liberal’ end of the Episcopal theological spectrum. His essay is included here F Y I, not because I go along with all of it. ~~~ Feb. 11, 2007 What Took So Long? By Harry T. […]
