My children ask for the “other version of ‘who are you now’ by Madison Cunningham”

Few know this

love mingus, an all-time great

Not a cure, unfortunately, but a good cumulative argument against despair

grateful you gave it your attention, Chris. thank you, and thanks for posting about it here!

I remember accidentally scandalizing congregants with the suggestion that it is ideal to live, work, and go to church in the same place.

I also remember the faddish thing in the 2010s about social media and isolation. But *social* media was a response to the lonely world TV and automobiles made.

Congratulations. I learned a lot from THE SYMPATHIZER, and I thought the mini-series was a masterful adaptation.

Ah, i read this a few months back and was also helped by it: www.saet.ac.uk/Christianity...

Instead of assessing democracy as good or bad he talks about the varying estimations of democracy among christians at different points. He also differentiates civil religion from religious nationalism.

Not quite the same, but have you seen Phillip Gorski’s AMERICAN BABYLON?

Christopraxis, or ?

This looks great. Thanks for putting it together.

Thanks so much, Caio, for reading and engaging with me. Yes, there's good basis for your reading in 1 Cor 8. There's reason to think the weak and the knowledge-havers can be differentiated on socio-economic grounds.

(my message being: the incarnation is not an emergency measure in response to the fall but rather the realization of god’s everlasting purpose; this isn’t to deny a redemptive dimension to christ’s work but it is to say his person and presence exceed redemption)
